Results tagged “SNP” from Birmingham Post - News Blog
Latest gossip in Westminster is that the SNP is ahead in the Glasgow East by-election.
Of course, I have no idea if it will prove to be true when the result is announced about nine hours from now.
But it will be a disaster for Gordon Brown if his party has managed to lose a seat where it had a 13,500 majority - to the SNP, which is actually in power in the Scottish administration and shouldn't be receiving the type of boost opposition parties normally enjoy in by-elections.
Last night I predicted that Mr Brown would remain Labour leader until the next General Election no matter what.
My opposite number on the Liverpool Daily Post has a different view, and reckons Mr Brown will be out by the end of this year if he loses tonight.
