These are the Scottish MPs who would lose their seats to the SNP

A number of high profile Labour and Liberal Democrat MPs will lose their seats to SNP politicians in the general election, according to the latest polling from Lord Ashcroft.

Danny Alexander, the chief secretary to the Treasury, and Douglas Alexander, Labour's shadow foreign secretary (pictured), are the two biggest casualties on the list and Labour's shadow Scottish secretary Margaret Curran could also lose her seat.

Lord Ashcroft - a Conservative peer and owner of the ConservativeHome website - polled 16,007 people in 16 different SNP target constituencies and found that the only seat being held by its current MP was Glasgow North East - Labour's Willie Bain.
