Scottish voters are beginning to look at Labour again, says LBC's Gina Davidson ginadavidsonlbc
It was the icing on the cake for Sarwar and Labour delegates. They have seen the polls shift across the UK from Conservative to Labour, but that movement has been less remarkable in Scotland - trying to eat into SNP dominance is far easier said than done.
Riven with division, the SNP needed to do little to point out the party’s flaws, Scottish Labour was very capable of hanging its dirty washing out for all to see. But it was that decision by Nicola Sturgeon to choose now to stand down - sparking an SNP leadership campaign for the first time in 20 years - that Sarwar and his delegates believe will help them to power. The personal vote Nicola Sturgeon was able to win, particularly during the Covid pandemic, cannot be underestimated.
But the Yougov poll is just one. All eyes will look to see the next and if there’s a trend established. Similarly will the Sarwar brand cut through - just in December a Savanta Comres poll found that just 24 per cent of voters regarded him favourable, while just over half were unable to say what they thought of him at all.
