Labour leaders in Westminster and Scotland have hailed what they said was a “seismic result” following the party’s landslide victory in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election on Thursday.
Michael Shanks bagged 17,845 votes, or 58.55 percent, pulling off a 20.36 percent swing from the Scottish National Party (SNP).
