Lindsay Roy (Labour) — 19,946 votes (55.11 % of total vote, up 3.20 percentage points on 2006)
Peter Grant (SNP) — 13,206 votes (36.49%, up 13.13 points)
Maurice Golden (Conservatives) — 1,381 votes (3.82%, down 3.82 points)
Harry Wills (Lib Dems) — 947 votes (2.62%, down 10.04 points)
Of course, the main talking point from this will be the surprise Labour victory, but expect the hefty 10 percentage-point drop in Lib Dem support to cause much consternation on Cowley Street. The Tories won’t be too pleased with their showing either.
