Humza Yousaf has been dealt a fresh blow with a poll predicting the SNP will lose seats at the next general election.<\/p>\n

The Scottish National Party has already seen its ratings tumble in 2023 and it could lose seats to both the Conservatives and Labour – despite the fact Tory popularity is also in freefall across large parts of the UK.<\/p>\n

The party has been rattled by a series of scandals with voters seeking to ditch ideas of independence for other issues such as the economy.<\/p>\n

A new study by political consultancy Stonehaven shows Scottish Labour will likely come out on top, gaining 21 seats while holding on to the two consituencies it currently represents – Edinburgh South, and the Rutherglen and Hamilton West seat it gained at a recent by-election following the SNP’s Margaret Ferrier’s Covid controversy.<\/p>\n

And despite predictions that the Tories will struggle, experts believe they could improve on their current six seats and bag 11 – which would be a humiliating result for Humza Yousaf and the SNP.<\/p>\n

The Scottish Liberal Democrats are tipped to hold on to all four of their current MPs. This means unionist parties will secure 37 of the 57 seats available.<\/p>\n

If the poll result is accurate, the SNP will hold just 20 seats – its lowest number since 2010 and below Labour.<\/p>\n

The SNP suffered in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election and has also faced a series of defeats at council level.<\/p>\n

Labour is predicted to sweep the board in Lanarkshire as well as taking four of the six Glasgow seats.<\/p>\n
