Manchester Labour Students contribute to Glasgow NE Victory

Labour have won a stunning victory in Glasgow North East following an excellent and honourably fought campaign in the Scottish constituency. Willie Bain was duly elected with a solid majority of 8111 votes, a 59.39% share, which represented a 1.89% swing to Labour.



Talia Akhtar & I joined Labour Students from all around the country to spend a week in the constituency during polling week to deliver leaflets and knock on the doors of local constituents to deliver the Labour message. We campaigned with councillors, MPs, MSPs and the odd celebrity in Eddie Izzard - everyone helping to fight SNP cuts and elect the only local candidate. It was hard work but rewarding that we could contribute to such a successful campaign.

Congratulations to the new Labour Member of Parliament for Glasgow North East, Willie Bain.
