Farage says Sarwar is obsessed' by race as Hamilton byelection row escalates
Briefly

Nigel Farage has intensified attacks on Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar, accusing him of a preoccupation with race ahead of the Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse byelection. The campaign has evolved into a direct rivalry between the two leaders, bolstered by a controversial Reform UK ad claiming Sarwar prioritizes Pakistani communities. Keir Starmer, supporting Sarwar, condemned Farage's divisive tactics. Sarwar has fiercely retaliated against these personal attacks, labeling Farage as an elitist outsider and challenging him to a face-to-face debate. The byelection is seen as pivotal, influenced by the late MSP's legacy and possibly affecting future elections.
Nigel Farage's second attack video against Anas Sarwar highlights a race-focused dispute, intensifying personal tensions ahead of a Holyrood byelection.
Keir Starmer condemned Farage's tactics as manipulative and divisive, reinforcing Sarwar's stance against accusations of sectarianism in Scottish politics.
Sarwar, responding to Farage's attacks, called him a 'pathetic, poisonous little man' and challenged him to a face-to-face debate in Hamilton.
The byelection in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse is critical, spurred by the previous MSP's death, and may influence the dynamics before upcoming elections.
