Well that's the news I've been waiting for. @lornaslater has taken Edinburgh Central for @ScottishGreens. I'm very pleased; she's the only genuinely inspirational member of #Holyrood in this generation, in my opinion.

Hopefully a future #FirstMinister.

Also, although Angus Robertson would make a fine ambassador for Scotland, we do not need yet another machine politician.

(#Green gain from #SNP)

#YouGov's final MRP of the 2026 #Holyrood election shows the #SNP falling short of a majority, but on course for a fifth term in office. #ScottishGreens are surging, but #SLAB #ScottishLabour is in deep trouble.

SNP: 62 seats (-5 from 23 Mar-8 Apr)
Ref: 19 (-1)
Lab: 17 (+2)
Grn: 16 (+5)
LD: 8 (-1)
Con: 7 (=)

"The #Scottish #National #Party leader’s senior adviser indicated that if necessary, he would rely on support from the pro-independence Scottish #Greens to win that vote in order to demand the UK #Government gives #Holyrood the #legal #powers to hold a second [independence] #referendum."

@Wen many people, including myself will find this hard. The prospect of people suffering and being frightened I find really disturbing, epsecially when at least some of that could have been avoided via #assisteddying. Life is precious but so is quality of life, even in the final chapter.

Parliament rejects assisted dying legislation

Speaking to journalists after leaving the chamber, McArthur said he was “devastated” by the result, adding the system “has been failing dying Scots for too long” and that many will feel let down by the result.
