Former Scottish government minister and present SNP deputy leader Keith Brown branded Labour’s 26 weeks in office a “litany of failure,” arguing that it had made “no difference” since the July general election despite Sir Keir Starmer promising “change.”

He said: “Keir Starmer repeatedly promised voters ‘change’ while his Scottish leader Anas Sarwar vowed that there ‘would be no austerity under Labour.’
