A by-election battle from which Labour emerged with an 8,000 majority will transform the party's general election chances, a senior minister said.

Scottish Secretary Jim Murphy said Thursday's victory in Glasgow North East gave the party a huge morale-booster and a "real sense" that it could win the next election.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said of the result: "This shows that when we fight hard we win."
