Anas Sarwar,Labour Party,Scottish Labour

The Scottish Labour leader said the end of Tory rule at Westminster would 'depress' John Swinney and the SNP.

Anas Sarwar has insisted there is "no hint of complacency" in Labour as it stands on the brink of an historic comeback in Scotland.

Speaking to the Record on a campaign stop in Gourock, he said: "There is no internal complacency. When you have been in the Labour party the last 14 years, you don't have room for complacency. We've seen the negative consequences of that. "If you want to make sure we get rid of the Tories, if you want to make sure you end 14 years of division and decay and decline, if you want a Labour government and Scotland to be at the heart of it, you have to use your vote for Scottish Labour."

"We have made immense progress, but our feet are on the ground. Hard work, humility and energy over the next two days will hopefully get us over the line and deliver that Labour government."
