What could this result mean for labour at a general election . Well, there is no doubt this is a big win for labour. The question is, how big . The party knew they had to win here, and convincingly, and they have with a pretty thumping majority in the end. If replicated across the country, senior people in the Scottish Labour Party think they could win 25, 30 seats in scotland at a general election. That would be crucial for sir at a general election. That would be crucialfor sir keir at a general election. That would be crucial for sir keir starmer� s hope of winning a majority across the uk at a general election. He will be absolutely hoping that happens, because the last time labour won a general election in 2005, they won 40 seats in scotland, so this matters across the uk, it matters for a general election result. But so do the caveats. This seat is pretty volatile, it has changed hands at every election since 2010. It is worth remembering that in terms of the snp, they will now try to regroup and find ways of presenting more of a challenge to the labour party. Chatting to senior snp people they think there have been some pretty difficult circumstances, be it the sacking of the last mp here for Breaking Covid laws or the fact that the police are investigating snp funding. But even with those caveats, this is a really big moment in scottish politics. Labour think they are back. Nick eardley, thank you.

The most Vulnerable Children will be living with impact of Covid Lockdowns for the next ten or even 20 years, according to the former childrens commissioner for england. Anne longfield has been giving evidence to the covid inquiry, and said that in any future emergency, schools should be the last thing to close and the first to reopen.

If we cast our minds back longfield has been saying . If we cast our minds back to longfield has been saying . It has cast our minds back to march 2020, Thatis Cast Our Minds back to march 2020, that is when all schools closed apart from to those families with Vulnerable Children. Injune, things started to open back up, theme parks opens back up, garden pubs were allowed to open, as well as nonessential shops. Anne longfield told the inquiry this was a terrible mistake, she said it was eat out to help out instead of opening schools. She said the inquiry and the decisions made by the government at the time were incoherent and indifferent to the impact on families and students and she said any future decisions or any future emergencies should have them at the heart, schools should be the very last thing is to close and the very first to reopen. She spoke about at risk children at the time, they had fewer opportunities for face to face visits with surgeries close and Childrens Centre is closed and she thinks policies around at risk children at the time make them extremely vulnerable. This part of the inquiry is looking up decisions made at the time. Today Anne Longfield was quite critical of the fact that children were not at the heart of those and in the future we will have consequences because of those. Vanessa clarke, thank you.
