Scotland willing to work with Labour

SCOTLAND'S First Minister has invited Sir Keir Starmer to Bute House to put "political differences" aside to work together following the next general election.

In a letter to the Labour leader, Humza Yousaf said differing political views should not "prevent us being able to work together"

He wrote: "I hope you will accept this invitation to meet and that we can establish a working relationship in the interests of the people we represent."

Speaking on the BBC's Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg programme, Mr Yousaf appealed to Sir Keir to work with the SNP on reducing child poverty and strengthening relations between the UK and Scottish governments.
