June 07, 2025

SIR Keir Starmer has said people in Scotland have "voted for change" following Labour's shock win in the Hamilton by-election.

Surprise win is a vote for change - Starmer

The Prime Minister congratulated Labour's new MSP Davy Russell and looked ahead to next year's Scottish Parliament election, saying it is a chance to "turbo-charge delivery".

Mr Russell took the seat vacated by the death of Scottish Government minister and SNP MSP Christina McKelvie.

Posting on social media, Sir Keir said: "People in Scotland have once again voted for change. Next year there is a chance to turbo-charge delivery by putting Labour in power on both sides of the border."

Labour's candidate, deputy lord lieutenant of Lanarkshire, beat the SNP's Katy Loudon - her third defeat since 2023.
