Love to stay up for a result and then Bluesky falls over :))))
I'm pretty sure (I haven't run back through all results, I have a dug to talk for a sunny walk) this is the first by-election in quite some time where the SNP's two candidate preferred share is higher than in 2022, not merely slumping less badly than Labour's.
👏 SNP WIN: @theSNP have gained Southside Central in Glasgow from Labour - congratulations to @mhairihunter.bsky.social and her team!
📢 I’m standing to be the SNP candidate for my home constituency of Ettrick, Roxburgh & Berwickshire.
🏴 Rachael Hamilton and the Tories have taken the Borders for granted for far too long. It’s time for a fresh start.
What ya like 😂
What’s the return policy on a Labour UK Government?
