Anas Sarwar hailed an 'absolutely incredible' general election result for Scottish Labour after the party came close to wipeout in 2019.

Anas Sarwar has set his sights on becoming First Minister in 2026 after he led Scottish Labour to its best general election result in 14 years.

He pointed to his party's dismal night at the last general election in 2019 when it won just a single MP. "To have gone from that position, to not just win the election in Scotland, but to win such a convincing majority in Scotland, is absolutely incredible. Sarwar added: "Today, the hard work for change begins. A UK Labour Government delivering for Scotland.

"All of these are issues that are in the control of the SNP Scottish Government. And they are woefully failing on it."
