This comes as a sign of the party’s recovery in the country before a national election expected next year.
LONDON: Britain’s opposition Labour Party hailed a “seismic” victory in an election for a UK parliamentary seat in Scotland, beating the Scottish Nationalist Party in a sign of its recovery in the country before a national election expected next year.
The by-election in Rutherglen and Hamilton West, on the outskirts of Glasgow, was called after lawmaker Margaret Ferrier was stripped of her seat in London’s parliament for breaking Covid-19 rules. “This is the kind of result that suggests that the Labour Party is potentially capable of winning seats again in Scotland,” he told BBC News.
Ferrier was suspended from her party and had since been sitting as an independent before she was removed by a petition of her constituents in August.
