Nicola Sturgeon was filmed celebrating after the SNP claimed the Westminster seat of Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson, with the victory display described as “unacceptably ungracious” by a Lib Dem MP.

The SNP leader shook her fists in the air and clapped after her party’s candidate Amy Callaghan took one of the biggest scalps in the General Election.

Ms Sturgeon was filmed reacting to the Dunbartonshire East result while conducting interviews at the Glasgow count.

 
 

Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage described her response as “graceless and nasty” on Twitter.

While Liberal Democrat MP Layla Moran, who held on to Oxford West and Abingdon, said: “This is so unacceptably ungracious.”

Ms Sturgeon was not alone in celebrating, however – a video posted on Twitter by Hackney Citizen journalist Elizabeth Rushton showed Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott excitedly mouthing “get in” when she heard the news of Ms Swinson’s defeat.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
