Pat McFadden said a change in SNP leader “doesn’t make much difference” after Humza Yousaf announced his resignation as First Minister on Monday.
Labour is “not planning alliances” with the SNP “or anyone”, the party’s national campaign co-ordinator has said.
When asked if Labour would “rule-out the idea of co-operation” with the party and McFadden responded: “You can put it to me from now until Christmas and my answer will be the same. Former deputy first minister John Swinney could become SNP leader from Monday afternoon if he runs unopposed, with Swinney stating he would like to get on with that job “as quickly as possible”.
“If there’s a contest or not, I don’t think it makes much difference because in Scotland just as in England there is a mood for change.
