Support for the Labour Party in Scotland has significantly decreased, particularly among pensioners, following the Chancellor's decision to cut winter fuel payments. A Survation poll indicates that backing from voters aged 65 and over has halved from 30% to 15% since September. This decline poses challenges for Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar ahead of the 2026 Holyrood elections, with projections showing the SNP maintaining a substantial lead.
