PM joins Willie Bain on the campaign trail

By Alex Smith / @alexsmith1982

Gordon and Sarah Brown were in Glasgow yesterday, campaigning for Willie Bain ahead of Thursday’s by-election in the constituency of Glasgow North East.

The PM said:

“When people on the doorsteps tell Willie that they feel let down by the SNP, he is right to say it is only Labour who will represent their priorities of fairness and responsibility…His energy and ideas for the community he loves are clear to see.”

Labour is expected to win Thursday’s by-election, but with a much-reduced majority from over 10,000 to around 2,500.

Harriet Harman, Ed Balls, Andrew Adonis and Eddie Izzard have all also been out on the campaign trail with Willie Bain.

On Thursday, Willie told LabourList:

“I intend to end the campaign the way I started it – by getting out and about in Glasgow North East to meet as many people as possible and to tell them what I’m about.“
