Keir Starmer says Labour needs Scottish seats to win general election

Keir Starmer has admitted that Labour needs 'seats in Scotland to win the general election'

The Labour leader said "Scotland is central to our plans" in a Q&A session following a speech in Edinburgh on Monday morning.

"And therefore I want that representation here in Scotland, to bind together everything that we do as an incoming Labour government for the whole of the United Kingdom." Sarwar also said that the location of the GB Energy headquarters within Scotland was yet to be decided. "An error, for the future of Scotland, as big as the Thatcher Government closing the coal mines, while frittering away the opportunity of the North Sea."
