Labour's Sir Keir Starmer and Conservative leader Rishi Sunak are campaigning vigorously in Scotland as both parties attempt to overcome the Scottish National Party's long-standing dominance.
Starmer launched Labour's campaign in Glasgow, emphasizing that Scotland is crucial for 'national renewal' and Labour's mission.
Sunak criticized the SNP for higher taxes and accused it of being out of touch with Scottish needs during his campaign in Nigg.
The SNP, under John Swinney, faces significant challenges, including NHS issues, economic policies, and an embezzlement investigation.
Polls suggest shifting support, with Labour possibly gaining 30 seats if current trends continue.
Key issues for Scottish voters encompass health, housing, and education, and the SNP's focus on independence remains central in their campaigning.
