JAMES MITCHELL: The SNP's cataclysmic election wipeout is only the beginning... things can only get worse for the Nationalists

Daily Mail  

If the SNP thinks that it hit rock bottom in last week’s election then it is in for a shock. The fallout from last week’s devastating loss of seats will do further damage as SNP members search for scapegoats rather than solutions. The SNP suffered the loss of 39 seats at the General Election, but this is only the beginning of the party's nightmare While responsibility largely lies with Nicola Sturgeon, most of the defeated MPs and members of the Scottish Government share responsibility. Losing its status as the third largest party in the Commons means we will hear a lot less from the SNP’s group leader in the Commons.
