Watch: Scottish Labour leader crashes dance class

The Holyrood election has been characterised as relentlessly negative, with the SNP and the Conservatives sticking rigidly to their respective attacks on the Prime Minister and calls for a second referendum on independence. Both Nicola Sturgeon and Tory leader Douglas Ross look like they desperately want the whole thing to be over.

Not so, Anas Sarwar. The Scottish Labour leader appears to be living his best life with an energetic campaign emphasising his opposition both to indyref2 and banging on about opposition to indyref2. This has led to him being accused by Sturgeon of sitting on the fence. 

Sarwar can be seen gyrating enthusiastically to ‘Uptown Funk’ by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars.

However, the Glasgow MSP wasn’t for sitting when he spotted an open-air dance class while campaigning in West Lothian on Saturday.
