This week’s Behind the Headlines newsletter comes from political reporter Abbi Garton-Crosbie who covered the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election results…It was clear that the Scottish Labour leader wasn’t expecting there to be such a difference between the results for his party’s candidate Michael Shanks and theWhen Sarwar and Shanks made an appearance in the media room just before 2.
So on Friday morning we were told we had one question each. It had been a long night so I wanted to get mine in early. “I think the point to stress is when the SNP won the Airdrie and Shotts by-election with a lower turnout, they weren't decrying the turnout in terms of what it meant for the result,” he said in response.
When I pointed out that neither I nor the newspaper had said such a thing, Sarwar claimed that he had seen one of our tweets.I pointed out that Sarwar always has a go at The National during press events.I pointed out that I don’t actually, I just ask him questions.Unfortunately, I’m also used to this from Labour, whose treatment of our newspaper suggests they've no interest in speaking to those in the Yes movement.
