Watch the moment Anas Sarwar calls on Keir Starmer to resign

Описание: Anas Sarwar has called for Sir Keir Starmer to resign as PM and Labour leader, saying the "leadership in Downing Street has to change".

The Scottish Labour leader begins by saying that his decision "isn't easy, and it's not without pain".

But he insists his priority is to "my country, Scotland".

Sarwar says: "That's why the distraction needs to end. And the leadership in Downing Street has to change.

"It is so obvious that we desperately need change in Scotland and in three months time, the opportunity to get rid of a failing SNP government is one that is too important to be missed.

"We cannot allow the failures at the heart of Downing Street to mean the failures continue here in Scotland, because the election is not without consequence for the lives of Scots.
