END OF TORY

THE Tories will lose all of their Scottish seats at the General Election, a new poll has predicted.

The blow comes after a disastrous campaign for the Tories, with Rishi Sunak snubbing D-Day commemorations and Douglas Ross quitting as Scottish Tory leader.

The Ipsos survey put the Conservatives on just 13 per cent of the vote in Scotland.

Expert pollsters who studied the survey say this would result in the Tories losing all seven of their Westminster seats.

And it would mean party leader Ross who is standing in Aberdeenshire North and Moray East - would be defeated.

Labour and the SNP were neck and neck on 36 per cent in the poll, which predicts they would each get 27 seats, with the Lib Dems picking up the three others.

First Minister John Swinney said he was "encouraged by the poll predicting six Tory seats falling to the SNP.

He said: "This is a very different poll to the ones we've seen up until now which I think indicates the SNP is engaging strongly with the public.

"But we've got three more weeks to go and we have got a lot to set out to the public before polling day.
