Keir Starmer LIVE: PM’s future on brink as Sarwar calls for PM to go | Politics | News

Mr Sarwar said his message was not an easy one as he had a “real friendship” with Sir Keir.

But his first priority is Scotland and the Prime Minister now risks sacrificing the country to the SNP’s third decade of rule.

“That is why the distraction needs to end and the leadership in Downing Street needs to change… We cannot let this mean that the failures at the heart of Downing Street continue here in Scotland.”

“I have to be honest about the failure; the situation in Downing Street is not good enough. There have been too many mistakes. They promised to be different but too much has happened.”

“Keir Starmer is a decent man and I have always got on well with him and it is no secret that he has dedicated his life to public service.

“The people of Scotland are crying out for a competent government… they want to see leaders who put the national interest before themselves.”
