Stephen Flynn: ‘Our vote has not turned out in Rutherglen by-election’

Rutherglen #Rutherglen

Labour has won the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election.

Michael Shanks took the Westminster seat with 17,845 votes – more than double the number polled by the SNP’s Katy Loudon.

Stephen Flynn, the SNP’s leader in Westminster, said the party must look at what happened and work to re-motivate people.

The by-election was called after former SNP MP Margaret Ferrier was ousted by her constituents for breaking Covid rules.
