Sir Keir Starmer has hailed a "seismic result" for Labour after his party overwhelmingly won Scotland's first recall by-election. Labour candidate Michael Shanks won the Rutherglen and Hamilton West seat after securing more than twice the votes of his SNP rival Katy Loudon.
A total of 30,531 votes were cast in the by-election, with turnout standing at 37.2%, well below the 66.5% turnout in the last general election.Mr Yousaf, who made frequent visits to the constituency during the election campaign, stressed his party was facing "some very difficult circumstances".But he said the buck would stop from him if his party failed to hold on to the seat, and afterwards he conceded it had been a "disappointing night" for the SNP.
