Sarah Brown hit the doorsteps with by-election candidate Willie Bain in Glasgow North East yesterday. After meeting with activists in the campaign office she came out door knocking in Riddrie. By all accounts she went down very well with local voters.

Many thanks to Stuart Maclennan, Labour’s PPC in Moray, for the photo above.
