For those calling for Sturgeon to resign should give this a read. I am extremely uncomfortable with the way in which allegations of harassment against women by a powerful man have been used to launch attacks. Whilst he gets to play sanctimonious victim.

It’s not easy to become a migrant. Migrants are brave people who make the difficult decisions to leave their homes. Migration is a human nature.
Embracing immigrants isn't just inclusion; it's an investment in a brighter, future for all.

The Media of today needs to be corrected as they do not project the reality of politics. This seat was always hard to win & we knew it from day one. In 2017 this seat was won by Labour & 2019 by SNP so it’s swinging seat. unfortunately due to an MPs behaviour this has not helped!
"The story of tonight I would suggest is probably that Labour are back as a credible electoral force."
