Starmer's days as PM ‘over’ if SNP wins new majority

The Sentinel

|

October 10, 2025

PRIME Minister Sir Keir Starmer's days in Downing Street will be “over" if the SNP wins a majority at Holyrood next year, John Swinney has said.

The First Minister spoke ahead of his party's conference in Aberdeen this weekend, where he will propose his plans to secure a new referendum on independence.

If the SNP wins a majority in May, the First Minister's proposals suggest he will seek another vote, citing the precedent set following the 2011 election which led to the referendum three years later.

But the First Minister said he does not think Sir Keir will be Prime Minister after an SNP majority at Holyrood next year.
