As if Labour in Scotland didn't have their troubles to seek Miliband is now trying to make an explicit appeal to Tory voters in England. In an interview given to The Observer he states:
A YouGov poll commissioned by The Times puts the SNP on 49% (up 3 points) and Labour on 25% (down 4 points). Translated to seats this would give the SNP 53, Labour 4 and Tories and LibDems on 1 each.
Following on from the stunning SNP win in Glenrothes West and Kinglassie here are the results for the other Scottish by-elections held yesterday.
SNP candidate, Craig Walker, takes over 55% of the vote in the Fife by-election. The second placed Labour candidate took just over 35%.
As part of the media storm around Matthew Oakeshott's resignation from the Liberal Democrats it has transpired that he conducted polling research into Danny Alexander's Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey seat. The results of this LibDem internal poll have been leaked and it shows the SNP taking the seat on 32% and Alexander for the LibDems on just 16%.
