Its been determined from the moment i took over as leader of the labour party to take us from one of the worst defeats since the 1930 for us to a general election victory. A general election victory. And thats why we worked so hard to change the labour party. Ive always said that the route to that general election runs through scotland and that is because i know how strongly we so many people in scotland want change. And i want to, if were elected in to serve, i want to be the Prime Minister for the whole of the United Kingdom, not just of the United Kingdom. So it matters hugely that we succeed here in scotland.

This is gb news across the uk on tv, in your car, on Digital Radio and on your Smart Speaker by saying play gb news. Now lets get back to. Patrick now lets get back to. Patrick welcome along. Now i think we should give humza yousaf a knighthood for services to the United Kingdom. Thanks to him being about as popular as novichok, the Scottish Independence campaign is dead in the water. A rise, sir humza the saviour of the union. I mean, look at this. Okay hes even been on the front cover of Time Magazine. Presumably its called time because of the exquisite timing involved here. There he is, smirking along with the strap line trail blazer of the future. Oh, absolutely. Too future. Oh, absolutely. Too right is hes shaping the future of scotland, staying in the United Kingdom , as indeed it United Kingdom, as indeed it should. Very few people have should. Very few people have done more to shore up scotlands continued links to westminster than that man. I am, of course, than that man. I am, of course, talking about the fact that the snp battered like a scottish snp got battered like a scottish mars bar in the rutherglen and Hamilton West by election, where labours michael shank secured a 20. 4 swing from the scottish nationalists. Humza yousaf has said the buck stops with him. Said the buck stops with him. Yeah, no it does. Yeah. Too right . I wonder at what point it will emerge that humza has been working deep undercover for the unionists. All along. According to yougov, hes currently got a popularity rating of 11. I personally am surprised they could find 11 people, all labourers ruled out an independence referendum on scotland. The snp likes to say that every election victory that they had was a tacit independence referendum. Well, what about this now then its oven what about this now then its over. Surely its finished. The dreams died , but like an oscars dreams died, but like an oscars victory speech , humza also has victory speech, humza also has to thank those who helped make this possible. Nicola sturgeon, her amazing husband , peter her amazing husband, peter murrell. We cant forget them at a time like this. Of course , a time like this. Of course, though, this is a double edged sword for a lot of people because huge labour surge in because a huge labour surge in scotland will probably mean a labour at general labour landslide at the general election. That in itself is election. But that in itself is not all bad for people. A Hung Parliament would almost definitely mean a Lib Lab Coalition and that brings with it very real potential for it the very real potential for a second eu referendum. Look today is not the day to dwell on the possibility of a stonking labour majority. No, today is the day to bask in the glory of humza yousaf snp meltdown and the Independence Movement crashing into oblivion , which is into oblivion, which is something humza yousaf knows a thing or two about. Oh, there he is on a scooter. No, its all going rather well though. Oh boss, there he is eating some concrete , hasnt he . Its a good concrete, hasnt he . Its a good job we have that mask on cushion to cushion the blow anyway. Well done, scotland. Well done to the fair people of rutherglen and Hamilton West. But most of all, sir humza yousaf, thank you very, very much. Yeah well, very, very much. Yeah well, i think i want to hear from you. Vaiews gbnews. Com. Fascinating by election result that and you very rarely hear that said especially from the of especially from the area of rutherglen Hamilton West. Especially from the area of rutiitglen Hamilton West. Especially from the area of rutiitglen a Hamilton West. Especially from the area of rutiitglen a lotmilton west. Especially from the area of rutiitglen a lot forton west. Especially from the area of rutiitglen a lot for the nest. But it means a lot for the country. It means a lot for scotland. It has huge scotland. It has huge connotations going fonnard at scotland. It has huge con generals going fonnard at scotland. It has huge con general election onnard at scotland. It has huge con general election and rd at scotland. It has huge con general election and what the general election and what could happen after that. Here to break all of this down with me very shortly is a man known affectionately as mad dog. But sir starmer has hailed sir keir starmer has hailed what he his partys seismic he called his partys seismic victory in the rutherglen and Hamilton West by election in scotland by saying they blew the doors off labours Michael Shanks took the seat with that 20. 4 swing against the snp and said, according to election guru sir john curtice, labour would be on course for a 1997 style landslide if these figures were replicated at a general election. Scotlands first minister, humza yousaf, has conceded it was a disappointing night for the snp, but it was arguably an even more disappointing night out for the scottish conservatives , whose scottish conservatives, whose candidate lost his deposit after securing just 3. 9 of the vote. Securing just 3. 9 of the vote. Joining me now is the Political Editor at the express online is, of course, david, mad dog maddox. David, thank you very much. Great to have you on the show. Whats your overall takeaway . Scottish independence dead whats your overall takeaway . Sc thesh independence dead whats your overall takeaway . Sc the water. Pendence dead whats your overall takeaway . Sc the water. Finito 1ce dead whats your overall takeaway . Sc the water. Finito yeah dead whats your overall takeaway . Sc the water. Finito yeah. Dead in the water. Finito yeah. So i think youre right. Actually. Patrick and humza useless , has a great deal to be useless, has a great deal to be thankful for. Now, now, now. Hes very. Now, now, now. Hes very. Hes very good at some things. You know, he was elected to. To be the leader of the snp and. Yeah. Yeah hes good at some things. Hes good at some things. Hes good at some things. No but seriously, what do you think though. Does do you think though. Just does this signal the of this does this signal the end of scottish . Scottish independence . Catastrophe every it was a catastrophe in every job he held in the scottish government. Is guy government. This is a guy who failed to insure his car or something when was transport something when he was transport minister in scotland. You know , minister in scotland. You know, this you know, it it this is like, you know, it it was clear that he would be a catastrophe when he was elected and was only elected because and he was only elected because he was Nicola Sturgeon handpicked successor, and of course, nicola, this really is Nicola Sturgeons legacy. She is toxified the whole independence plan. And i think frankly, keir starmer needs a bit of credit here for once. For me. But hes here for once. For me. But hes listened to his shadow scottish secretary ian murray, who is actually very sensible chap and hes finally stopped flirting with this idea of maybe well do a deal with the snp, maybe well have a Scottish Referendum again. You know , generation may again. You know, generation may not be that long and all that sort of nonsense which some people in the Scottish Labour Party were urging him to do, and he no, no , were he said, no, no, no, were definitely to that definitely not going to do that. And that has made both scottish conservatives lviv voters again voters feel comfortable again about voting labour in scotland because they dont want scotland to have another referendum. They dont want scotland to go independent and labour has become a Unionist Party again and the unionist vote is actually uniting again. Okay yeah, just a slight point of clarification to something that was said there. Transport minister humza yousaf drove without insurance and that was where friends car and that where his friends car and that was back the article from the 7th 2016. So youre 7th of december 2016. So youre political range there. David political range there. David stretches stretches way back and yeah just talk to me a bit about what this means for labour now though. So john curtice has said if replicated across if this was replicated across the mean, lets the country, which i mean, lets be going be be honest, its not going to be replicated across the replicated right across the country, but it would result in a landslide. Is there a labour landslide. Is there a chance labour getting the chance of labour getting the keys to westminster downing street by virtue of, ironically what happens in scotland . What happens in scotland . I think they need to win scotland. They certainly need to go scotland. They certainly need to 9 up scotland. They certainly need to go up from a one mp. They had pnor go up from a one mp. They had prior to today. Go up from a one mp. They had prior to today. Theyve now got prior to today. Theyve now got two. So you know, theres 50 odd mps , a 50 odd seats to win in mps, a 50 odd seats to win in scotland. They certainly need to scotland. They certainly need to get back to that. When i first went to westminster for the scotland where i first had the nickname mad dog, incidentally , nickname mad dog, incidentally, was there were, you know, the majority of scottish mps were labour and that all got wiped out in 2015, which is one of the reasons i thought it was best to move on to express when i lost all my contacts. But it was , you all my contacts. But it was, you know, it was they have to win again in scotland. I dont think they can get a big enough majority in england , but 1 1 majority in england, but 1 1 morning i would always give after a night like last night is its a by election. By elections. You know, it was a remarkably low turnout. I think it was low turnout. I think it was a 30 turnout. You know, its it they never replicate that actual general elections. Thats what the lib dems win. So many of them. And you know, personally andits them. And you know, personally and its hard to believe at the moment, but i still think there is a chance of a 1992 style election where the conservatives still squeak it. You know, still squeak it. You know, theres still a lot of time to play theres still a lot of time to play on this. Yeah, i mean, possibly we well have to wait and see. Like you said, that very low turnout. I sneaky suspicion that i have a sneaky suspicion that were to up were going to end up with a very low turnout at the general election, though i think elections often by election, though i think ele driving often by election, though i think ele driving personality by election, though i think ele driving personality at by election, though i think ele driving personality at play. the driving personality at play. And unfortunately, we appear to have politics that is completely devoid of personality at the moment. How that will play out when it comes to people actually going voting, im not going out and voting, im not sure have to wait and sure we will have to wait and see. David, thank you very see. But david, thank you very much. Analysis as ever. See. But david,
