I was pleased to see my old #Yes campaigning buddy, Stephen Gethins, was elected to Dundee City East. This means he will be resigning his Westminster seat to return to Holyrood.
Returning to Holyrood might be a smart move for anyone having designs on leading the SNP. Just sayin'. 😃

Comprehensive results are available on the Scottish Parliament website. However, I'll highlight one other result from the election. Murdo Fraser (Conservative) has stood in EVERY SINGLE election since 1999, and he has lost EVERY SINGLE time. Since 2011 he has stood in Perthshire North, and before that in North Tayside. What makes it even more amazing is that Murdo Fraser has lost to the SAME PERSON at every election, the SNP's John Swinney. https://www.parliament.scot/msps/elections/election-2026

@fitheach@mstdn.io Fascinating. First I thought the inkjet printer was having some clogged nozzles, then I noticed the stripes go both ways and its of course tartan 🤣 #Details
