To Scotland, where some rather curious polling has been published – suggesting that after next year’s Holyrood election, Reform UK could become the largest opposition party north of the border. The Survation survey for True North projects the current party of government, the SNP, will become Scotland’s largest party – taking a third of the constituency and regional list vote and winning 58 seats – with Nigel Farage’s lot leapfrogging both the Tories and Scottish Labour to end up in second place, taking a fifth of the vote to end up with 21 seats. It’s quite the turnaround!
Anas Sarwar’s Scottish Labour lot may be punished at next year’s poll for Sir Keir Starmer's unpopular policies, with the reds predicted to take less than a fifth of the vote and win just 18 seats.
