The by-election in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West constituency takes place on Thursday.
An SNP win in a key by-election this week would “send shockwaves through Westminster”, the party’s deputy leader has said.
Tory candidate Councillor Thomas Kerr called on people to vote for him as he is “fully focused on Scotland’s real priorities.” It is expected to be an important battleground ahead of the UK general election, which is likely next year, with the SNP’s Katy Loudon taking on Labour’s Michael Shanks, Tory candidate Mr Kerr and others.
“Michael Shanks is nothing more than a Starmer yes-man, whereas Katy Loudon will take her orders from the people of Rutherglen and Hamilton West. Ms Baillie said: “From the cost-of-living crisis to the chaos in our NHS, Scotland is being catastrophically failed by both the SNP and the Tories.
