Labour and SNP voters could favour an unprecedented coalition deal in Scotland to keep Reform UK out, a new poll has indicated.
The survey, carried out by Norstat on behalf of The Times, shows that 46% of SNP voters at last year's general election would now support a coalition with Labour with a view to reducing the influence of Nigel Farage's Reform - twice as many as were opposed.
Among Labour voters from the last election, figures were closer, but 40% still said they supported the idea of a coalition for that purpose. 32% were opposed to it.
Around 14% of SNP voters and 20% of Labour supporters were "strongly" against such a coalition.
A Labour-SNP coalition would be the first of its kind in Scotland, with the parties traditionally being on opposite sides of the debate on major issues such as independence.
Previously, Labour has formed a coalition with the Liberal Democrats, while the SNP has teamed up with the Scottish Greens.
Polling currently suggests no party is likely to win a majority in May's election, although the SNP is expected to be the largest party by a distance.
