Shock win for SNP:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/7522153.stm
Background:
Gordon Brown faces a crucial by-election on July 24th in Glasgow East. Lose it and there is no coming back for the Prime Minister say some commentators.
Labour are still slim favourites with the bookmakers to retain the seat. However, with the credit crunch biting and recession looming prospects can only get worse for Labour.
