The Scottish National Party has pulled off a stunning by-election victory by winning Glasgow East, one of Labour’s safest seats.

The Express & Star’s Peter Rhodes casts his eye over the fallout from this result.

Will Gordon Brown lead Labour at the next election?

Peter also discusses Barack Obama’s tour of Europe with video journalist Nicky Butler.

    Brown will be allowed to stay until 2010 and then it will just be melt down at the election, a bit like 1997 and all that.

    No Labour MP has the guts to get rid of GB but are happy to let him stay until; a time when every Midland MP’s job will be on the line.

    Talk about the insane world of politics !!!!!!!

    Gordon Brown wont be happy till he has the British people on their knees.
    Time Labour MP’s reached down deep and got some fire in their bellies and got rid of this man.
    By allowing him to cause more distress and unrest hes risking all their jobs as well.
    But it doesnt matter what any one says…no one listens to the little man…after all we dont count!
