John Swinney declares victory for SNP in Holyrood elections

The tragedy of this election campaign is that despite all the arguments we wanted to make about the health service, the future of our schools, about tackling homelessness, sadly that's not what the election became about, Sarwar added. It became about a national mood, and a national dissatisfaction. And that was a mood that we were not able to overcome. Labour sources said they had been punished by a disillusioned electorate, with voters deserting the party or staying at home in protest at Starmer's policies on welfare changes, Israel's war in Gaza and his engagement with Reform's anti-immigration agenda.
