Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar has resigned from his position at Holyrood to join the new government led by Andy Burnham. Following his resignation, political rivals at Holyrood strongly criticized the move, denouncing him as a "chancer."
Under the transition, the new prime minister plans to elevate Sarwar to the peerage so he can take up his new role in the administration. Sarwar previously made headlines as the first prominent Labour figure to publicly call for the resignation of Keir Starmer.
