    Christine Jardine holds Edinburgh West for LibDems. Could Jo Swinson be the only Scottish casualty for her party?

    That phrase again. "Nationalism both sides of the border." Used by Christine Jardine. But used repeatedly by other LibDem speakers.

  19. Lesley Laird: 'Constitutional wranglings run through everything'published at 04:42 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2019

    lesley laird

    Labour shadow Scottish secretary Lesley Laird, who lost her seat in Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath said constitutional wrangling ran threw everything in politics and the issues that really matter, such as tackling poverty, were ignored.

    "The Labour party is about the wider social context. It is not about flag-waving. It's about caring for people. It is about making sure injustices are remedied," she said.

    Ms Laird was beaten by Neale Hanvey, who was suspended as the SNP candidate after allegations he tweeted anti-Semitic social media posts.
