SCOTTISH Labour has turned the tables on the SNP by winning back swathes of their central belt heartlands lost in 2015.

The party saw their total number of MPs soar from just two to 37 as the SNP saw their tally plummet from 47 to just nine.

The Liberal Democrats gained one as the Tories dropped a seat, leaving both with five a piece, while the Scottish Greens saw their largest poll ever after standing a record 44 candidates.
