CUT FUELS OVER-55s' VOTE SWITCH TO NATS

Voters turned off as Starmer axes heating aid

- CHRIS MCCALL

SCOTTISH Labour is fast losing support to the SNP among the over-55s following a backlash over the Winter Fuel Payment, polling has found.

A survey by Norstat after the Scottish Budget showed a sharp decline in support for Anas Sawar's party.

Analysis has since found the biggest change in Holyrood voting intentions has been among older voters.

The poll shows a Labour to SNP swing of 12 per cent among men over 55 and 15 per cent among women over 55 - with only 12 per cent of men over 55 and 14 per cent of women over 55 thinking Keir Starmer is doing a good job as Prime Minister.
