Scottish Labour taking ‘nothing for granted’ as SNP support crumbles

Keir Starmer makes Scotland ‘central to the mission’ as polls indicate an election meltdown for beleaguered nationalists

The deputy leader of Scottish Labour said she was taking “nothing for granted” after a poll suggested the party is poised for huge gains north of the border at the general election.

Jackie Baillie said: “We are moving in the right direction but I always approach elections with respect … We have our candidates out there, knocking on as many doors as they can. We started last year with maybe six target seats and now we have considerably more than that.”
