SNP tried to push Scots 'into the arms of Reform' during Hamilton by-election campaign
The Scottish Labour leader tore into the Nationalists following a bitter by-election race in South Lanarkshire. Anas Sarwar has accused John Swinney of 'attempting to push people into the arms of Reform' during the Hamilton by-election campaign. The First Minister regularly claimed Scottish Labour could not win the seat and insisted the contest in South Lanarkshire was a two-horse race between his party and that of Nigel Farage. But the tactic failed spectacularly after Davy Russell emerged triumphant following a close three-way contest last week. Sarwar today accused the Nationalists of running a "dishonest and disgraceful" campaign during the run-up to the vote on June 5. During a heated exchange with journalist Martin Geissler on BBC Scotland's Sunday Show, the Scottish Labour leader branded questions put to him as 'embarrassing' and suggested Geissler was asking about a 'fantasy world'. Sarwar said: 'The best John Swinney had to offer after 18 years was 'vote SNP to stop Farage' – a dishonest, shameful campaign.' He said it showed a 'lack of ambition' from a Government 'running down the clock', and he claimed commentators had been 'embarrassed' by the result. Sarwar added: 'Frankly your questions are embarrassing too, Martin.' The broadcaster responded: 'I think you should be slightly embarrassed.' Sarwar also said he had spoken to Keir Starmer on Friday following the victory, and the Scottish leader said he wants to see the two-child benefit cap removed 'as fast as possible'. He insisted Labour aimed to 'improve growth' and bring mortgage rates and energy bills down to alleviate the cost-of-living crisis. He added: 'Maybe you don't have a mortgage Martin, but people do have mortgages across the country. 'There have been four interest rates cuts because of economic stability and those four interest rates cuts have meant that the average mortgage is down by over £1,000. 'We've started to see energy bills come down, but those need to come down much quicker, because people feel a real pressure in the cost-of-living crisis.' He said voters had 'utterly rejected the SNP and Reform and sent a message to John Swinney that he ran a dishonest and disgraceful campaign that attempted to push people into the arms of Reform rather than confront the issues he has caused in people's communities'. He added: 'That's why, ultimately, people want them removed from office.'

Calls to Fife Council could soon be answered by 'AI agents'
Customer calls to Fife Council could soon be handled by 'AI agents'. Officers believe allowing computer-generated technology to answer simple queries will allow staff to deal with more complex enquiries. It would also allow calls to be handled 24-hours a day. Some other UK local authorities already use artificial intelligence for a number of functions. However, Fife is still said to be ahead of the curve when it comes to its introduction. The technology has already helped the council map all of its street furniture, including road signs. And, as well as answering calls, it could eventually be used to predict potholes before they appear. Fife Council's ICT chief Charlie Anderson says the use of AI could bring a range of significant benefits. However, he cautioned human oversight will be needed in case of mistakes. The Fife Council website already includes a chatbot known as Fiona. It handles typed customer queries about topics that can be found on the site, including questions about missed bins, school meals and nursery enrolment. The introduction of AI agents to answer the phone would be an extension of that service, Mr Anderson said. He revealed a business case for call handling technology has already been drawn up. And he added: 'AI agents provide round-the-clock service, allowing citizens to access services at their convenience. 'This ensures essential services are always accessible, reducing wait times and improving overall customer satisfaction. 'By delegating routine and repetitive tasks to AI, staff members can dedicate their time and expertise to addressing more pressing and intricate issues.' Mr Anderson told councillors AI technology also has the potential to save Fife Council money. The officer added. however: 'Just like any staff member, it needs to be trained and retrained. 'Human control is also required so we can deal with times it gets it wrong. 'It will be monitored. But it doesn't get tired, it can be on 24/7 and it can deflect calls that are much simpler in nature.'

Starmer will be breathing a sigh of relief to clinch shock victory over SNP and Reform UK
Anything other than a win for Labour would have been a humiliation in this contest. It wasn't any old local by-election - this was a contest where Labour knew it could act as a mini barometer of Sir Keir Starmer's recent U-turn on winter fuel payments and become a test of how popular the politics of Nigel Farage are in Scotland. Labour are power hungry and have, for a long time, set their sights on forming the next Scottish government. The prime minister will this morning be breathing a sigh of relief to clinch this shock victory over the SNP and Reform UK. This contest on the outskirts of Glasgow came at a time where Labour had been firefighting and grappling with polling suggesting they had blown their chances of ousting the SNP from power in Edinburgh after almost 20 years. The SNP had a spring in their step during this campaign after a chaotic couple of years. First Minister and SNP leader John Swinney had apparently stemmed the bleeding after the infamous police fraud investigation, endless fallout over gender identity reforms, and last year's general election where they were almost wiped out. This result leaves them no further forward than 12 months ago with questions over the party's strategy. Reform UK is very much in the Scottish picture now, finishing a few hundred votes behind the nationalists. This is a party led by a man who barely registered any support north of the border for many years. A remarkable transformation. The surge in support has spooked many because they know fine well Nigel Farage is only just getting started. One poll had Reform UK forming the next official opposition at Holyrood. After tonight, that might be a tall order but Mr Farage is shaking things up at the expense of the Conservatives.
