Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson predicted to lose her seat to SNP

Jo Swinson hasn’t had the best election.

But if the exit poll is to believed – and it was very accurate last time – then Jo Swinson a 95 per cent chance of losing her own East Dunbartonshire seat to the SNP’s Amy Callaghan.

If Swinson does lose her seat, it won’t be the first time – she lost to the SNP’s John Nicolson in 2015, before winning the back in 2017.
