SNP Candidate David Kerr this morning took part in a fun run with local residents, SNP activists and athletes  from Glasgow's international community as the by-election enters it's final lap.

Speaking before the start of the run from Springburn to the Wallace Monument at Robroyston Mr Kerr said: "As this by-election enters its final lap, the SNP campaign continues to close the gap on Labour.  More and more people are sick of being let down by Labour, they want to see a fresh start for Glasgow North East with an SNP MP.

"Labour has run away from responsibility for the challenges this constituency faces.  As the SNP candidate I am running for the people of Glasgow North East.

"As we head toward the finish line, it's time to end 74 years of Labour neglect with a vote for the SNP at Thursday's by-election and a stronger, louder voice for Glasgow North East."
