Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar reveals he has not spoken to Starmer since calling for him to quit
Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar said Labour trails SNP and Reform UK in polls and wants to avoid Downing Street failures distracting from May’s Holyrood election campaign.
- At a Glasgow press conference on February 9, Sarwar used a hastily convened event to urge the Prime Minister to resign, saying he was 'angry' when informed beforehand.
- With May 7 approaching, Sarwar cited an unpopular UK government as context for his actions, amid Labour trailing the SNP and Reform UK in polls.
- Sarwar told Sky he spoke to the Prime Minister 'a couple of times that week' but said 'I've not spoken to him since that week', while maintaining 'regular communication' with 'very positive conversations about what’s right for Scotland'.
- Declaring he will lead the campaign, Anas Sarwar declined to say if he would campaign with Keir Starmer before May 7, saying the Prime Minister 'has better things to do than be chapping doors' and needs to focus on delivering for Scotland.
- Positioning himself around policy delivery for Scotland, Anas Sarwar said private talks continue as the May 7 election approaches.
