SCOTTISH Labour leader Anas Sarwar dropped into Prestonpans today for a quick game of pool to celebrate the Labour party's victory at East Lothian Council elections earlier this month.
He was joined by South Scotland MSP Martin Whitfield on a visit to the town's Labour Party Social Club on Kirk Street.
Great to visit @ClubPrestonpans with @_MWhitfield to thank East Lothian Labour for their brilliant campaign and victory!

Mr Sarwar said: "Chalked up a comprehensive victory against Martin Whitfield MSP.
"Under my leadership, Scottish Labour will be keeping our eyes firmly on the ball."
After counting concluded at Meadowmill earlier this month, Labour was left with nine councillors, the same number as they had achieved in 2017, with every one of their candidates successfully elected.
Mr Sarwar added: "Great to visit Prestonpans Labour Club with Mr Whitfield to thank East Lothian Labour for their brilliant campaign and victory!
