Anas Sarwar has today called for the resignation of the Prime Minister in order to save his failing election campaign in Scotland.<\/p>\n
Speaking at an unscheduled press conference in Glasgow, the Scottish Labour leader described Sir Keir Starmer as a \u201cdecent man\u201d who had dedicated his life to public service.<\/p>\n
However, Mr Sarwar said his priority was Scotland and the Scottish people.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are so many good things happening across our country but the people cannot see them because the leadership has been a distraction,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The shock intervention by Mr Sarwar came as a further damaging blow to the Prime Minister whose future hangs in the balance over his appointment of Peter Mandelson as US ambassador.<\/p>\n
Mr Sarwar said he was not backing any particular candidate, saying his decision was based only on what was good for Scotland.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere have been too many mistakes\u2026 and this needs to change.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said he had told Sir Keir that he would be making today\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n
