Scottish Labour secures by-election win over SNP and Reform
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 чер 2025
- Labour’s been celebrating after winning a surprise victory over the SNP in a fiercely contested by-election. The result in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse will come as a relief for their Scottish leader, Anas Sarwar, who’s hoping to become First Minister in the Scottish Parliament elections next year.
It was also the first big test for Reform UK in Scotland, after their recent success in English local elections. They came a close third - a rise they’ve described as ‘truly remarkable.’

Scotland, the gift that keeps on giving
scotland no more im afraid, what have you done Scotland
I’m Scottish, wtf are these muppets thinking.
WTF are you complaining about? This is good news.
@@neilmcbeath954 Its really really not, just the opposite.
exactly
This is stupidity at its highest level it’s obvious Scottish people still don’t get it starmers labour and conservatives are this country’s problem like SNP all for corruption and there mates a disgrace all of them wake up please or we’re all finished
Shows the intelligence of the Scottish people to vote for these people.
Labour didn't even want to debate issues. Only the SNP and Reform turned up. Goes to show the mentality of the people who voted for this lot.
It might be that what the SNP and Reform said was enough to make the Hamilton voters reject both of them.
How about rigged more likely
Shows the intelligence of the Scottish people to vote for these people.
@@neilmcbeath954 The SNP are too political today with no real independence plans.
Wales and Scotland will commie us all into oblivion
I'm Scottish and would not vote labour
Me too.
@@DenisMclean-e9o
Me too
And me.
And me but not Scottish
Wtf keeps voting these ‘Pakistani’ mps in ?.
Pakistan’s & Indian people own all of the Scottish mills, the kilt making industry wouldnt’t exist without them, your NHS wouldn’t exist either. It’s possible to be brown skinned & Scottish. Why don’t you stand in an election instead of moaning about skin colour or better still take advantage of free education.
Go to Glasgow it’s absolutely full of them
People of Scotland allegedly so don’t vote this Marxist gob shyte party into power and get rid of the egregious
SNP out as well we all need a government who works for us not us for them.
Did Labour win with the postal vote ???
Hopefully starmer
Will send all the migrants to Hamilton as a thank you .
And on top of that finish shutting down the oil and gas industry.
That would be beautiful Scotland need a lot more migrants they have so much land up there we need to send them more doctors and nurses
Except starmer has actually cut the migration numbers. He's sent more asylum seekers back than in the 4 years of tory rule
Shows the intelligence of the Scottish people to vote for these people.
@@LostPhotographThe biggest bullshit stat going. Of the 24000 returned in the last year only 6000 were enforced...eg working illegally, work permits, students whose courses had finished...the rest was voluntary as they get paid to go home if if voluntary. The forced repatriacian numbers are similar to the last shambolic government.
@@LostPhotograph😂😂😂😂😂 ok Fool
Who are the people voting labour 🤯 seriously after everything labour has done
Check the postal votes.
Like what?
Labour haven't really done anything much yet. They've removed the tax break for private schools which is quite popular and removed some tax breaks for the wealthy which are also popular. That's about it really
And this is why this nation is finished.
This is where the corruption starts
@glenn1424 Oh boy oh boy oh boy it starts here you say!🤔
Yeah i do everywhere in uk is voting reform now all of a sudden labour wins a vote its all over😂 and in scotland of all places
@@glenn1424it’s been rigged or something who in the right mind would vote Labour
I'm central Scotland and I don't know a single reform voter. You ever heard of an echo chamber?

What is wrong with Scotland
NOTHING, THEY JUST LOVE ISLAM .
@@Theforestbanditas bad as it is in Scotland, England has way more "love" for it..
@@Gazz9000I dunno Yano well I hope not anyways
Nothing, they just don't want insanity.
Because think about it this way, forget Labour or Reform, but if a normal but perhaps incompetent guy and a totally insane guy stood for an election, and you kinda had to vote for one, who will you vote for?
@@socialdemocratj1l2 Love how you "didn't" show any bias there 😂..
Interesting choice of words though, "normal but perhaps incompetent guy and a totally insane guy"..
One joins a party involved in scandals for covering up abuse and struggles with what a woman is whilst the other doesn't sooooo who's really the "normal but perhaps incompetent guy and a totally insane guy" 🤔..
Absolute madness
Hi am SHOCKED, the public in Scotland, still voting for Labour, this is the mentality that ensures that Scotland will never be free of being under the thumb 👍 of another country.
All devolution should be cancelled immediately. You're either part of one nation - the UK, or you're a totally independent country. No wishy-washy middle ground.
And what would you call this *one nation* Greater England?
OR....
Go back to how it was before....
Scotland
Wales
Re-unification of Northern Ireland with Ireland (IF that is what THEY DECIDE)
England
Sounds like a good idea!
Or did you mean that Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all assimilate into England?
Do you expect the Scots and the Welsh to drop their distinct characteristics, their own language, their own culture, their history etc?
EXPLAIN what this *one nation* looks like and WHY you think it would work?
@nigesilvestri6790
The independence voters want to go back to the EU sk they have less sovereignty
I think this vote was a fix!
Scottish people have never wanted neoliberalism, free university & healthcare is important. Thatcher & other far politicians always been unpopular.
How so?
Nope, this is real. The Scots have fallen
Why? Reform and tories are really unpopular in Scotland. It's always been between Labour and SNP
@@Lucy-jz7sg They now have a FM that has promised there will be more politicians from his country of origin and he says you can't use them as your curry bank and voting bank. Have you lot been doing that up there? He seemed rather upset.
Oh dear
wait until you start getting tent city`s all over Scotland.
"Cities". Why do you lot struggle with basic words?

Yep Independence … sooner than later

Watch the complete demise of Scotland. What a huge mistake voting Labour.
Labour aren’t particularly great but better than reform, tho I would rather snp maintain the seat
@Phyt5agree
Polls show most constituencies going to SNP with a few switching labour
@Phyt5 absolutely agree!
The SNP already completed the demise of Scotland.
@Phyt5 and that right there is why Scotland has become the drugs capital of Europe.
The gear is still strong north of the border
Rigged give us a vote with photo ID and we will see the true vote
Scotland has none of the industries of Sweden or Norway, they're just consumers of imports.
"if i loose its rigged"
@@librarytoolong3348 why not have photo id ? How do you no who is actually voting no wonder there letting thousands Walz in the country so they can be in power
Wtf are them bams doing ffs
How, doesn't make any sense at all.
What is wrong with these people how can they vote for labour party don't they know what is happening to our country
What is happening?
@@labouraredangerous on what issue?
Labour are actually doing a lot of things right.
So they can get votes.. they’ve been doing it
They saw the alternatives and liked neither of them.
Shows the intelligence of the Scottish people to vote for these people.
How can anyone still vote for Labour of SNP?
This clown voted to cut the winter fuel payment.
There's no such thing as Scottish Labour, there's only Labour in Scotland. There's a big difference. English Labour's lapdog.
The Scots founded the English Labour Party before devolution.
Bonkers.what’s wrong with Scotland
The Scottish education system collapsed in the late 80s. Voting Scottish Labour is the proof
Farce!!!!!!
Just goes to show, Vote Conservative get Labour. Reform's surge was incredible.
I never heard Russell listing the benefits of being tied to a failed state. Actually, I never heard Russel at all!
No good for Scotland.
It's good for Scotland
Scotland can have all the migrants they are hard working people nurses doctors builders everything
@@Roat25 we had loads of them in Wales and they have had to close minor injures department because they can't get doctors you have been misinformed .
@@darrenwilliams2921I’m being sarcastic 🤣
Disaster!
Perhaps Scotland should be independent- they can have Labour and we can reform our country
Not to mention save billions of English tax payers money under the Barnet Formula
You are aware that England voted in Labour as well right??
@@Gazz9000 you are aware that the “landslide victory” was achieved with Labour receiving less votes than at the previous election, when they had a landslide defeat at the hands of the Tories?
It wasn’t that England or Britain wanted Labour, just that the Tories failed so badly that people couldn’t stomach voting for them.
In a one horse race there’s always a winner, no point crowing over it.
@@colinb8327I'm well aware of that however the comment sections are full of people ripping into Scotland for this disappointing result as if England didn't do the same thing..
@@Gazz9000 true but Scotland also keep voting for the openly racist and corrupt SNP.
Turkey’s voting for Christmas
Yep. They'll complain about this and act shocked at what they actually get. It's almost like they've not actually listened or thought about it beyond one or two shorts on UA-cam.
And then complain when there’s no gravy!!
Isn't this the same labour leader, who said his filth will take over.
EXACTLY Immigrant Pakistani
@@rachaelhogan7850 He was born in Glasgow. Even you probably know that Glasgow is in Scotland.
His "filth"? Did you actually say that? Now explain why that's not racist. Btw he didn't actually say that false quote about taking over.
@@annphillips1086 We saw the speech. Don’t try and gaslight us. He wants to see more of his kind running things, including the education system.
@@SirHargreeves You saw a clipped and mangled version which was a misrepresentation of his views and for which he received an apology in Parliament. "His kind" indeed. They're called HUMAN BEINGS.
Changing shite for shite
Well done Scotland
dinna think they had much choice in the matter
There was a non-shite option?
Who the H voted Labour?! Jeez O

@Govanmauler well I agree with him. Who votes in scummy lefty Labour. Am I a bot too? 😂😂
How much is Elon paying you 🇺🇸 MAGA⛑️ BOT🤥 TRUMPETS 🎺
No one that’s why it was a no I d vote
@@Bodz2023 No, you are just misinformed. The Hamilton electorate is bright enough to understand how politics work. They have simultaneously rejected the racists of Reform, and sent a shot across the bows of the SNP.
Who counted the votes? 😂
Blind people from the looks of it but they are only blind when they see reform votes

i bet Channel 4 are partying.
U got to party hard
No income or property taxes!!! Set us free! That would change our lives. I feel the more I learn about our country low income people my anger grows, Thanks Arleth, imagine investing $1000 and receiving $10,450 in 3days

Rigged? .. Recount?
Got to be a fix
Yeah 100 who in the right mind would vote liebour wtf it’s crazy
I am really, 100% suspicious of this, because the general feeling has been that they h.a.t.e. Labour and even if they weren’t;t fully on board with Reform, they seem to like SNP - It is WILDLY sus that they got in and also, that they were saying it’s their “duty” to make sure Nigel and his Politics doesn’t get in.
I think the Woke university education system is in full flow in Politics. Sadly, all these posho’s who will never have to spend a day in their lives living next to these invaders, are the ones in charge our country’s well-being - and it’s scary. They’re thinking about their own pockets, only.
Well we seen that before right.Labour is owned by the WEF and globalist elites ,wake up people .They are selling off our assets to huge corporations owned by the elite few ,and what they dont want they will crush Watch Scotlands demise .
What planet are they living on 😂 what a bunch of 🤡
Well they just lost the footy to Iceland. 🇮🇸 So they’re already reaping what they’ve sowed! 😅
Voting Labour is idiocy, especially with their Scottish Leader being more interested in Pakistan than Scotland.
i suspect foul play sir
Mr Russell couldn't put a sentence together and was struggling to read the pre written speech! I've walked and worked in by elections for labour in Airdrie and areas. He's on the holyrood gravy train now and like the rest of them, will claim his allowance and won't even turn up in the chamber! He's not fit to be a MSP. Can't speak properly! What is the labour party coming to?
Vote snp
Vote Reform...Liebour and their Socialist friends the SNP have had their chance and turned Scotland into a 3rd world country.
100% correct
Vote reform.
Glad you agree!@@lookskyewalker
Potal votes from the Muslim community.
🇺🇸 MAGA ⛑️ REFORM 🤥 TRUMPETS 🎺
Scotland the thick!
Tell me why you support neoliberalism ?
That's a strong I want reform
Does the new MSP ever speak?
I live in the area but outside the election line so couldnt vote.
This is a disgrace, utterly ashamed of the people i libe amongst.
Just voted for genocide.
What's an election line?
Bot
@FranzBieberkopfthere's a line that distinguishes between who can't vote and who can, what do you mean bot? There obviously has to be a limit or people in Glasgow would be voting in a Hamilton election 😂😂 this is a local election, did you not know that?
Maybe you're the bot
Shocked is an understatement.
Seriously, I don’t think it’s an amazing win for Labour with two parties nipping at the heals of Labour.
"Only scottish labour can deliver a new direction for Scotland" yeah......sharia law.
This flagellation process the people of this great nation seem to be going through is just insufferable.
Vote reform uk and close our borders
I can’t vote for neoliberalism, it only serves millionaires, I’d have to an idiot to vote Deform
Who TF is voting for Labour!! Shame on them, absolutely disgusting
Why vote Labour????...they are horrendous.
Whoever you vote for, you always end up with the government 🤷♂️
Labour is has done far more for the country in 10 months than the tories did in 14 years. A lot of good policies coming out of labour now & we'll be seeing more positive results in the coming years. SNP have been a disappointment, reform are fascist that follow MAGA Trump & want to destroy UK & are filled with the worst of the tories, conservatives have done nothing but destroy for 14 years straight & people always end up worst off when they are in power.
and still better then anything Reform Ltd has to offer.
@FacetoFace-c8h And what is that , please do tell
@FacetoFace-c8h Zia Yusuf just quit reform as well, they are such a joke of a party 🤣
I’m absolutely convinced UK politics is corrupt to a level far beyond our realisation. I refuse to believe that our neighbours are dumb enough to vote for Labour after seeing what they’re doing to England. Surely they’re not that stupid?
Big Davie sounds like a top quality Drongo
The actual story of the election is the gain that Reform made from a standing start; not the election of that person (that was the least offensive way I could refer to him).
😂 you utter mugs 🤦🏽♂️
Anyone who's ever actually been to Larkhall wouldn't be surprised that Reform found plenty of support there
But they still lost to that current mess. I guess you cannot fix stupid in certain parts of the world lol.
@@lucasfernandez888 Yes because Deform are strong and stable right now 🤣
@darrynmurphy4764 I'm more surprised that people in Scotland (or anywhere else) actually think Keir Starmer leads a party worth voting for ! (The SNP really must be atrocious nowadays)
@@blazzz13 the majority of the voters in Larkhall think that Starmer is a credible leader - the other parties which stood need to have a long hard look in the mirror as to where they went wrong !
I stopped there once on the way back from holiday when my parent's needed to charge their car
It did look a bit rough so yeah I guess it's not as surprised

Why on earth would anyone vote Labour or SNP? They have had enough chances and done nothing for normal people.
VERY SAD RESULT!
The labour party now will automatically think that Scotland agrees with their policies and shove migrants in there like there's no tomorrow
Jeez oh who would vote Labour or SNP unbelievable😤
The only shame is on liebor.
What is wrong with these people can't they see what Labour has turned England into.
They want back in the EU and Labour will give it to them
Most people want back in the EU then we can live & work in Europe again & imports are cheaper.
How many people have applied for an Irish passport to enjoy the freedoms …. No money went into the NHS as promised, EU migrants left which caused closures of hospitals in Scotland.
Has your life improved with the 30% price hikes since Brexit ?
A kick in the teeth for Reform!
No a leg up😂😂😂😂
RIGGED
Surprised he won in staunch loyalist area of larkhall Hope reform gets it at next year's election 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Should have been a recount. Sarwar is for Pakistan and not Scotland. SNP and Labour should be out.
Someone who's aware . He shouted for more Muslim MP till they line the walls of West Minster. We have friends arriving each day . Shocking all for the Muslim immigrants
what does a recount achieve?
Indian bot comment
People moaning about labour winning are crybabies
Facts
Liebour is no better than the SNP, the only major difference between those two is unionist & "nationalist" (which is ironic because the SNP want more Scots replaced) Reform (A.K.A The racyciss party by the snowflakes) are by far the best of a bad bunch.
Are you telling me people actually voted for the Islamic party?..
The UK is multicultural mate. All British. Thanks to the empire.
They have one who’s about his Pakistani community and country over English when will the people wake up this sarwar immigrant is only about his own people you heard it in one of his speeches all these people should not hold any position of power politically what do they no about England or Scotland they need to go home focus on the politics of there own country from within there own country interfering in everyone else’s they should not be in any position of power period they need to stay out of English and Scottish politics
@@TimoDyerAnyone that’s not anglo SAXON white English is not British sorry
@TimoDyer a dog can be born in a stable it doesn't make it a horse
@@TimoDyerThis is the same group of people who say Reform aren't racist and anyone who say so are snowflakes. Maybe Nigel Farage is careful about what he says, but we can all read between the lines and so can his followers (highlighted by this comment thread). It's disgusting.
Funny how the voters of the most racist party in modern history (it’s a fact look it up) call reform voters racists and fascists, assuming they haven’t compared reforms and the Italian fascist party policies either
WOW. stop shouting and widen your circle of acquaintances.
More Labour. What genius 😂😂😂
The sooner Scotland is cast adrift, with Liverpool, the better.
They've only been in for a year or so. I'm not a fan of Starmer in the slightest, but it's hard to do anything after 14 years of Tory austerity. Anything but Reform.
I'm surprised
I will take any party over snp
RECOUNT REQUIRED
Great for the people of hamilton
I recon a lot of folk were frantically searching for one single thing they had in common with any of the candidates and it was the football connection that got him through - I doubt anyone had any allusions that any of them would turn out to be any good
All I can say to my fellow Scots is Wake Up and stop voting for these idiots. 1 single chance to give the country and the UK Nation, a chance by voting Reform and these Eejits vote Labour!
Fascinating to see Reform taking off in Scotland
Would never vote Reform ever this is Scotland are you for real but we will take it to get Labour out another English Party in Scotland are you’s for real shame on these Scottish people 🏴
When did we get a choice to vote for this ?
I am disgusted with that result considering what labour has done since being in power. Scots what they think 🙈
they cheated.
Yep told you u cant save dumb ppl they will vote to keep themself poor and borders open and them complain when labour does nothing . This country is done . They never learn
If you vote for labour we will be no scotland we will be back to austerity it's a joke
They're definitely not speaking for the rest of Scotland. Vote Reform!
