Anas Sarwar needs to stop acting as Keir Starmer's spokesman if he wants to win Daily Record Political Editor Paul Hutcheon says Sarwar's strategy of alignment with UK Labour worked for the general election, but will lose him Holyrood 2026.

OPINION: Anas Sarwar needs to stop acting like Keir Starmer's spokesman if he wants to be First Minister.
