Scottish Labour Leader Anas Sarwar has declared his "one mission" ahead of the Scotland elections, as he was quizzed by Christopher Hope on whether he is "afraid" of the rise of Reform UK in his country.

Speaking at the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool, Sarwar told GB News: "I have one mission in 2026 and that is to get rid of an SNP government that has done so much damage to Scotland over the last 17 years.

"Three months ago we got rid of one rotten government, Scotland sadly was burdened with two, so we've got rid of one of them and in 2026 we'll finish the job and get rid of the other ones. So if people want to protest, there might be other opportunities with Reform or other parties.

"But if they want to deliver change, if they want to get rid of the SNP, the only candidates for change, the only party of change is Scottish Labour. Vote for Scotland, save Scotland from an incompetent SNP government and if you want change, you have to vote for it. And the only party for change is Scottish Labour in 2026."
