In surprise victory, UK's Labour wins Scottish by-election after bitter contest
By Andrew MacAskill LONDON (Reuters) -British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Labour Party won a surprise victory in a fiercely fought by-election for the Scottish parliament on Friday after one of the most bitter election campaigns in the country's recent history. In an election when race became a major issue, Labour won the seat from the Scottish National Party in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse following the death of a former government minister. The result provides some relief for Starmer, whose party has suffered a steep fall in support since it won a landslide in a British general election last year after it raised taxes, cut welfare benefits and got into a row over the use of donations. Voters rallied around Labour in the closely watched contest after Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, repeatedly referred to the ethnicity of the Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar, who is of Pakistani heritage, drawing criticism from the other parties. The Labour candidate Davy Russell won 8,559 votes in the election for the Scottish parliament, which has devolved powers over issues like health and education. The SNP won 7,957 votes, and Reform finished third with 7,088 votes. The betting odds had predicted a comfortable victory for the SNP with Labour pushed into third place behind Reform. Russell told his supporters that his victory had "sent a message to Farage and his mob, the poison of Reform isn't us, it isn't Scotland and we don't want your division here". But a recent surge in support for Reform suggests the party is making inroads in Scotland as well as in England, a year before the Scottish parliament elections are held next year. The support for Reform in Scotland is particularly surprising because the party's brand of low tax, anti-immigration, anti-EU politics, has often been more associated with English nationalism. Farage visited Scotland on Monday, days after a row over an online video put out by his party that falsely claimed Sarwar had said he would "prioritise" the Pakistani community. Labour branded the advert "blatantly racist" and the SNP leader John Swinney urged voters to reject Reform's "gutter politics". Farage responded by accusing Sarwar of introducing sectarianism into Scottish politics.

Chairman of hard-right Reform UK party quits
The chairman of Britain's hard-right Reform UK party quit on Thursday, saying that trying to get the upstarts elected to government was no longer "a good use of my time". Zia Yusuf's announcement came after he criticised the party's newest MP for asking Prime Minister Keir Starmer whether he would ban the wearing of burqas in the UK. The resignation hints at unrest in arch-Eurosceptic Nigel Farage's party, which has already lost one MP since it secured a breakthrough result at last July's general election. "Eleven months ago I became chairman of Reform. I've worked full time as a volunteer to take the party from 14 to 30 percent (voter support), quadrupled its membership and delivered historic electoral results," Yusuf wrote on X. "I no longer believe working to get a Reform government elected is a good use of my time, and hereby resign the office," he added. Earlier, the 38-year-old had slammed Sarah Pochin, who was elected in a by-election last month, for her question to Starmer on Wednesday. "I do think it's dumb for a party to ask the PM if they would do something the party itself wouldn't do," Yusuf wrote on X. He became chairman in July last year, shortly after Reform won 14 percent of the vote and five seats in parliament -- an unprecedented haul for a hard-right group in a British general election. Yusuf was tasked with professionalising the group's grassroots operations and training up candidates ahead of what Farage has said will be a major challenge to Starmer's Labour party at the next general election, likely in 2029. Anti-immigrant Reform has consistently led national opinion polls for several weeks now and won hundreds of councillors at local polls on May 1. Farage said he was "genuinely sorry" that Yusuf had decided to stand down, but some analysts saw it as another example of the charismatic Brexit cheerleader falling out with a senior figure in his party. "It's like deja vu all over again," political scientist Tim Bale wrote on X, citing Farage's previous leadership of UKIP and the Brexit Party. "No-one but no-one gets to be bigger than big Nige," added the Queen Mary University of London politics professor. Last month, former Reform lawmaker Rupert Lowe called Farage a "viper" after his dramatic suspension from the party over claims he had threatened Yusuf. Prosecutors did not charge Lowe, citing "insufficient evidence". pdh/jhb
