SCOTTISH Labour have announced an increase of more than 3,000 members since the General Election.

The figures, released today, show the party now have more than 28,000 supporters, including 17,367 members, 3298 registered supporters and 7593 affiliated supporters.

Following the announcement, Kezia Dugdale vowed that her party "can be a force for radical change".

Ms Dugdale also appealed to voters to see the progress her party has made, and said: "I don't ask people immediately for their vote, but that they take a fresh look at Scottish Labour. We are changing.

"This is exciting progress but we know there is a lot of work to be done before we regain the trust of the people of Scotland.

"I want thousands more people to get involved as we set about the work of transforming Labour so we can transform Scotland."
