Anas Sarwar - latest news, breaking stories and comment
Latest London news, business, sport, showbiz and entertainment from the London Evening Standard.
www.standard.co.ukHere’s the latest publicly reported on Anas Sarwar from the sources I can access:
- February 9–10, 2026: Anas Sarwar, the Scottish Labour leader, publicly urged Keir Starmer to resign, framing the leadership as needing change and citing errors at Downing Street as a distraction ahead of Scottish elections. He described Starmer as a friend but said his loyalty is first to Scotland, stressing the May Scottish Parliament election as a priority for the country.[1][6]
- May 9–10, 2026: Ongoing coverage in UK outlets continues to track Sarwar’s role and statements within Scottish Labour, including commentary on Reform and regional NHS concerns, but without a change to the central leadership narrative, Sarwar remains a prominent figure voicing criticisms within the party landscape.[2]
