The polling suggests the nationalist party will face complete wipeout in Glasgow

The SNP is braced for an election wipeout, as a devastating new poll suggests the party will lose the majority of its MPs - with fresh polling suggesting party leader Humza Yousaf could also lose his seat as an MSP at the next Holyrood election.

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.


While it puts Labour just one point ahead of the SNP, when put into electoral calculus, it suggests a complete SNP wipeout in Glasgow.

Such stark results suggest Humza Yousaf could be at risk of losing his own Glasgow Pollok seat when Holyrood next goes to the polls.

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.
