SNP set to lose multiple MPs to Labour at next general election, poll suggests

dailyrecord.co.uk:

The SNP is on course to lose multiple seats at the next UK general election, a new poll has suggested.The latest survey of Westminster voting intentions found Labour is almost neck-and-neck with the Nationalists.

The poll of almost 1,300 voters in Scotland found that 35 per cent would vote SNP if a vote was held tomorrow, a drop of 10 per cent from the 2019 general election.It found that 32 per cent would vote Labour, up from 19 per cent at the last election, with the Conservatives on 18 per cent and Lib Dems nine per cent.Such a result would see the SNP wiped out across many of the central belt constituencies it turned yellow in 2015.The poll was carried out by Renfield & Wilton between April 30 and May 2The survey also found that 52 per cent of Scots would vote no at a future Scottish independence referendum, with 42 per cent backing yes and six per cent undecided.It comes after Humza Yousaf was elected to replace Nicola Sturgeon by SNP members, with the party subsequently rocked by an on-going police investigation into its finances.Jackie Baillie, Scottish Labour deputy leader, said: “With the SNP imploding under the pressure of internal fighting and sleaze, it is little surprise that the Scottish people are looking to Scottish Labour to boot out the SNP and the Tories and deliver the change Scotland needs."At the next election, the choice will be clear – more division and decline with the SNP and Tories or a fresh start with Scottish Labour."Only Labour can kick the Tories out of Downing St, tackle the cost-of-living crisis and deliver the change we need."It’s time for a fresh start and a clean slate for Scotland with Anas Sarwar and Scottish Labour."
