SNP to be decimated in Scotland as devastating new poll suggests Humza Yousaf will LOSE seat

The SNP is braced for an election wipeout, as a devastating new poll suggests the party will lose the majority of its MPs - including that currently held by Humza Yousaf himself.

The latest survey, conducted by Redfield and Wilton, shows that the SNP will be down to 17 seats. The party won 48 seats in 2019, but this has dropped to 43 after a number of defections and a by-election loss.

The worrying polling also suggests Humza Yousaf could lose his own seat.

While it puts Labour just one point ahead of the SNP, when put into electoral calculus, it suggests a complete SNP wipeout in Glasgow - where Yousaf's Glasgow Pollok constituency is located.

The survey put Scottish Labour on 34 per cent support and the SNP on 33 per cent. The Tories are on 18 per cent support, while the Liberal Democrats are on 8 per cent.

Trailing behind, Reform UK is on four per cent, the Greens are on two per cent and the Alba Party is on one per cent.

As well as seeing the SNP's MPs drop from 48 to 17, when the survey is put into electoral calculus it also suggests that Labour will see its MPs leap from two to 28.

However, Ipsos Mori polling published yesterday put the SNP on 40 seats, with Labour returning just 17.

The Redfield and Wilton poll also saw Yousaf's personal approval ratings fall to -17 points, with 42 per cent of people in Scotland saying they disapprove of his appointment - an increase of five points.

Just a quarter of Scots believe he is doing a good job, down by six.

The Conservatives have not been the largest party north of the border since Anthony Eden’s victory in 1955

Tony Blair helped lead the Tory wipeout in Scotland in 1997, with Sir John Major losing all 11 seats to fall into fourth place.

It took some time for Scots to trust the Conservative Party again as Theresa May drastically increased the number of Tories elected to the Commons from one to 13.
