Poll predicts Labour could win up to 30 Scottish seats

LABOUR are “within touching distance” of winning 30 seats in Scotland, according to the latest polling.

Pollsters Savanta have found that support for Labour in Scotland now stands at 37 per cent, compared with 33 per cent for the SNP and 17 per cent for the Tories.

The survey conducted on behalf of the Scotsman newspaper appears to echo the results of last month’s study by centrist think tank More In Common, which put Labour and SNP on 35 and 30 per cent respectively — and if replicated at the polls on July 4 could mark a dramatic turnaround in Scottish Labour’s fortunes.
