From what I have read - and from informed podcasts in the last week - this is a surprising and narrow win for Scottish Labour.

Starmer was kept well away from the campaign. He didn't visit once.

The pre-election polling showed that he and Reeves are not electoral assets in Scotland! The opposite.
