Jeremy Corbyn has insisted there will be no pacts with any other party at the next general election.
The Labour leader was in Scotland yesterday, speaking at the Unite union conference in Ayr and meeting members in Blantyre, Lanarkshire.
Corbyn is under pressure to go for an election in December but he says he wants to rule out a no-deal Brexit first.
He is behind in the polls but said he is “ready for it”.
In Ayr, Corbyn said: “After a general election, we will have either a Tory prime minister or a Labour prime minister, there’s no other option available.
“I’m going in to fight that election whenever it comes – this year, whenever, I’ll be ready for it.
“There will be no pacts with any other party, we are fighting that election to win it in every part of the UK.”
He later visited Blantyre with Scottish Labour MP Ged Killen, MSP Monica Lennon and Scots Labour leader Richard Leonard.
On Saturday, he campaigned in Motherwell and Wishaw, and Inverclyde.
Corbyn was speaking the day after Unite general secretary Len McCluskey sparked another row with more “moderate” Labour members over the future of Edinburgh South MP Ian Murray.
The union tried to push a reselection battle in the seat – which has the largest majority in the country.
But it was comfortably defeated by Murray’s supporters on Thursday.
McCluskey claimed he “knew full well” there was no chance of unseating the vocal Corbyn critic. But he added: “His behaviour – and this was the view of our Scottish membership, which I personally support – needed to be called out.”
Murray hit back on social media. He wrote on Twitter: “Len, you came, you made a fool of yourself and you lost.
“Suck it up and move on.
“Maybe concentrate on saving your members’ jobs from Brexit rather than backing Brexit.”
