Keir Starmer: 'We are now the party of change'

Keir Starmer has said his party's victory in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election means Labour is now the party of change for Scotland and the rest of the UK.

The leader of the Labour Party said disaffected voters could now see how the party had changed.

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

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