New Scottish Social Attitudes findings on discrimination and prejudice in Scotland.
➡️ Positive attitudes towards same-sex relationships have continued to increase, just 10% would be unhappy about a close relative marrying someone of the same sex, down from 33% in 2006.
➡️ However, the proportion saying there is "sometimes good reason to be prejudiced" has risen from 22% (2015) to 31% (2025).
Four groups remain at particular risk: trans people, Gypsy/Travellers, people with severe mental illness, and older people.

NEW: Survation Holyrood MRP
Survation’s final Holyrood poll indicates that the SNP is almost certain to form the next government, albeit without an overall majority. Our MRP estimates that the SNP are likely to win 59 seats - six short of the 65 needed for a majority, with a tight race for second place between Reform UK and Labour.
