Labour's shadow chancellor John McDonnell has issued a plea to voters in Scotland to "come home" to the party.
In his keynote speech to the Labour annual conference in Brighton, Mr McDonnell said he was "devastated" at the party's collapse north of the border in May's general election, which saw the Scottish National Party take 56 of the 59 available seats.
He accused the SNP of letting its left-of-centre voters down on issues like wages, rents and taxes and insisted that Labour was now "the only anti-austerity party" in Scotland.
"I was devastated by Labour's losses in Scotland," said Mr McDonnell.
"The SNP has now voted against the living wage, against capping rent levels, and just last week voted against fair taxes in Scotland to spend on schools.
"So here is my message to the people of Scotland. Labour is now the only anti-austerity party. Now's the time to come home."
Labour lost more than 300,000 votes and all but one of its 41 MPs in Scotland in May, as its share of the vote plummeted from 42% to 24%.
