So BBC Scotland have just cut the feed because they can't be bothered waiting for the final results? Really?

In 2024 Anas Sarwar mocked Humza Yousaf with a nosediving gesture which reflected SNP polling at the time. It hasn't aged well. Today seems an appropriate time to retweet the clip.
The motormouth wouldn't appreciate this being retweeted.

Scots need to give British press SCUM in Scotland a good kicking. That's how it works, right?

Q Manivannan has become the first trans-identifying MSP in Scottish history.
Manivannan, who described themself as a 'trans, Tamil immigrant', was elected on the Edinburgh and Lothians East list.
Speaking from the podium, Manivannan told a crowd of Green activists: “I am, to some in this country, everything that the hateful despise, and I'm standing here as your MSP now with care.
“They say politics is the art of the possible. A politics of care, I'd say, expands what's possible for everyone left behind, pushed out, or never invited in. A scholar I love called Saidiya Hartman wrote that the holes that bind us are also the bonds that free.
“Every barrier placed before me with the Greens was the reason also that we pushed further. And this is what diversity looks like in power.” 👇

Not in Scotland.

Across the country the Conservatives are coming back.

Yeah. It's puzzling that they don't/won't; they're finished.

There is an escape route for Labour from certain disaster at the general election: use their Commons majority to ram through PR. It’s cynical, + they’d never govern alone again, but it locks Reform out of No10. The left (Lab, Gr, LD) still have a majority over the right in the UK

@TessWhiteUK
You lost.
Folks like you and Piers Morgan are just eye-rollingly embarrassing.
You bet the future of the Scottish Tory party of this tiny insignificant issue.
You blocks! You stones! You worse than senseless things!

🚨 WATCH: Piers Morgan and Green Deputy Leader Rachel Millward clash over Zack Polanski's stance on trans people Morgan: "Do you think women have penises?" Millward: "I think you have a uniquely strange obsession with people's genitalia"

@ginadavidsonlbc Anas Sarwar: "A woman is an adult human female"
Where was JK Rowling's endorsement?

Sarwar speaking to reporters
@GinaDavidson@ginadavidsonlbc
Anas Sarwar conceding defeat in Glasgow after just 7 seats declared. Says the campaign was about Labour nationally - something he says he could not overcome. Says he's "sick of politicians who seek to divide us and sadly it seems those politicians are going to win the day today"
English
@ginadavidsonlbc yeah, what happened, did the Lib Dems get complacent?
It looks like SNP, Reform and Greens all took a chunk.

Big win for SNP in Shetland - last time it didn't have a Liberal or LibDem representative was in 1950.
Hannah Goodlad got 47.5% of the vote. There was a 10 per cent swing from the LibDems who came second.
Will be a huge blow to the LibDems - though they held Orkney.
