  6. "You'll have had your democracy, jock."

    English bloke blocks #ScottishParliament's mandate to hold referendum on independence. Again. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/

    Scotland proclaimed the principle of popular sovereignty in the 1320 #DeclarationOfArbroath. Seven centuries later #AndyBurnham is the latest wannabe-leader of England to uphold the English tradition of #ParliamentarySovereignty.

    #Burnham wears cool t-shirts, for an ageing dad. But he's not cool with democracy.

  10. On Tuesday, the #ScottishParliament elected #JohnSwinney as #FirstMinisterOfScotland.

    That's the 5th successive term with an #SNP First Minister.

    And it's 23 years since the last election of a #ScottishLabour First Minister: Jack McConnell in 2003.

    Labour dominated Scotland for 50 years. When Holyrood was established, Labour was the natural party of government.

    Now electing a Labour FM is a fading memory, held by people with greying hair. Labour's colour is turning to sepia.

  11. Trans Candidates Secure Holyrood Seats Amidst Scrutiny

    Two transgender people, Dr. Q Manivannan and Iris Duane, are now Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs). This is a first for Holyrood.

  12. This is a rare time when you actually have connection to the news. @q was one of my students in India. Besides being one of the most brilliant people I have ever met, Q is also one of the kindest and most joyful. A rare combination in this day and age. Scotland and @ScottishGreens are very lucky to have them as a new Member of the Scottish Parliament. Congrats, Q!

  13. Both Reform leader Malcolm Offord and Conservative leader Russel Findlay have won list seats in West Scotland.

  14. All of the results in Scotland are now in.

    The SNP will form a minority government. Labour and Reform have tied for second place; Reform would likely claim official opposition by virtue of having a higher vote share.

    The Conservatives have just collapsed, losing more than half of their seats. Modest gains for the Greens and LibDems.

  15. Just waiting on the regional votes in Highlands and Islands, and then the #ScottishParliament results will be complete.

    #ukpoli #Election2026

  16. All the Scottish constituencies have now declared.

    Only three sets of regional list seats to go.

    #ukpoli #Election2026 #ScottishParliament

  17. If you've ever wondered how the SNP is able to come close to a majority with such a small vote share, this will help explain it.

    The SNP has done about 11 points better in the constituency vote than in the region vote. That helps the SNP win, by my reckoning, about 10 seats that they otherwise wouldn't.

  18. Labour leader Anas Sarwar has held his Glasgow list seat, after being defeated in his Cathcart and Pollok constituency.

    It looks like he will probably take the role of Leader of the Opposition in Hollyrood.

    #ukpoli #Election2026 #ScottishParliament

  19. Three regional list results have been declared in the last few minutes.

    Reform has won its first ever seats in the Scottish Parliament, most of which have been at the Conservatives' expense.

  20. The Greens have won a second constituency seat in Scotland, taking Glasgow Southside from the SNP.

  21. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 STATE OF THE PARTIES AT 17:00:

    Only a handful of constituencies left to declare, and then we can start getting the regional list results.

    The SNP will finish as the largest party, but will finish a few seats short of an overall majority.

  22. GREENS GAIN EDINBURGH CENTRAL FROM SNP

    Former Green co-leader Lorna Slater becomes the party's first constituency MSP.

    Angus Robertson is out of Parliament. (Yes, he's on the SNP list, but the SNP won't win any list seats.)
