Ladbrokes have released their odds for the Glasgow East by-election. They’ve chalked the SNP up as favourites to win:
SNP — 8/13
Labour — 6/5
Conservatives — 100/1
Liberal Democrats — 100/1
Remember, Labour currently hold the seat with a 13,500 majority – that’s almost double the majority they enjoyed in Crewe and Nantwich before the Tories won there recently. Yet still the bookies – as well as Politics Home’s panel of Westminster insiders – are predicting victory for Alex Salmond’s nationalists. It’s almost getting to the point at which no seat can be considered safe for Labour.
