Fuck Eurovision and fuck you if you're watching it tbh

The SFA eh? What a bunch of corrupt, cheating bastards. Doing it in plain sight too. 10 minutes added and then awarded Celtic the dodgiest penalty you'll ever see. Hearts have the ability to win the title, but the rotten Scottish football authorities will simply not permit them to.

I hate Starmer with a visceral passion, but I'd keep him a hundred times over that massive 🔔🔚 Wes Streeting. The only one of the mentioned possibilities that doesn't utterly repulse me is Andy Burnham. But we need to stop swapping PMs like footie managers, it just helps Reform even more.

Unionists stuck on the 'once in a generation' phrase as some sort of justification for denying democracy are desperate and disingenuous. Let's do grown up politics. If you want your union, make the case for it with something better than your contemptuous "no, you can't have your say, electorate".

"When asked how long a generation is, Ms Reeves said: 'Certainly not 12 years.'" Well, Ms Reeves, I've got news for you - a generation can be as short as that. GenX covers a 15 year period, and Xennial is a 7 year generation. Please stop denying democracy, especially on such spurious claims.

A win for @kilmarnockfc.co.uk tonight will secure safety for another season, barring that a win for Aberdeen over St Mirren will do it regardless of our result. But I'd really rather not rely on someone else. I'll be spending all day thinking about silly men kicking a ball around. 😅

What is the obsession with changing PM? It won’t change anything ffs.

The reason why the UK might get its 6th Prime Minister in 7 years is because none of the Prime Ministers, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak or Keir Starmer have done anything but make the billionaires even richer and more powerful. It is time THEY paid.

Wes Streeting would be the final nail in Labour's coffin. More neoliberalism, more privatisation, more austerity, more grovelling to economic power, when we desperately want change.

With just 17 MSPs, Reform can't influence any policies passed by Holyrood. Instead we're in for 5 years of grandstanding, attention seeking, misgendering trans MSPs then acting as victims, and using Holyrood as a platform for their bile. And the Scottish media will lap it all up.

"I've spoken to Labour losers in Scotland and Wales but not the leaders the electorate voted for and now I'll witter on about blaming the Tories again." Keir Starmer

The 2014 Scottish independence referendum was won by the false claim that only a 'no' vote would guarantee continued membership of the EU. On that basis alone, a second referendum cannot be postponed for a generation.

After the dust settles the anti-democratic effrontery of Independent Green Voice: a far right spoiler has to be investigated by the Electoral Commission. They took 19,975 votes (0.84%) on the list & stopped the Greens winning one more seat.

Say what you will about the Greens, but no other party is ballsy enough to run a Trans candidate in JK Rowling’s Constituency. Well done…

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

Being socially awkward and/or anxious is great because you can be comfortably articulate with a perfectly passable vocabulary online or in writing - verbose, even! - and the second you're physically in front of another human it becomes "I good! How you? Hurm brrrrrpbrraarrghh"

You know when there's one line of dialogue you keep rewinding to listen to but you keep getting distracted from it and before you know it it's round 6 and you're still no better off. It must be great to have an attention span worth a damn

73 independence supporting MSPs to 56 Unionists, pro indy majority 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Reform won ZERO on FPTP and only got seats via the list The SNP did very well given the media bias against them, and the Greens had their best ever result 💛💚 Focus on these things and tune out the rest of the chatter

A second trans MSP had been elected

There are now more transgender MSPs now than there are Joanna Cherrys, a win for us all

I’m so happy to see trans people getting representation in our parliament 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🫶 www.thenational.scot/news/2609189...

Scottish independence can't come soon enough

As I recover from that nine hour election livestream, I'm delighted to hear that Scotland has its first trans MSP.

The fact it's been over 24 hours since polls closed and the full Scottish results aren't declared yet is shambolic, what the fuck is going on? I don't remember it ever taking this long before.

Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are now all led by parties that want to break away from the UK — hugely challenging times for not just the two-party system, but for the Union, too. A remarkable development.

This regional list business fairly makes the wait for the final result drag on, I'm getting bored now and getting repetitive strain injury from constant refreshing. Petition to bring back overnight counting and get this wrapped up faster.

For a country that can’t stop wanging on about how they defeated the Nazis, England sure does like Nazis.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 SNP have won a historic 5th term and a Scottish independence majority is coming. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Plaid Cymru has won in Wales. 🇮🇪 Sinn Féin lead the Northern Irish government and are calling for an Irish unity referendum. ➡️ The Celtic Exit from the UK is gathering pace and the UK is living on borrowed time.

Scottish and Welsh Labour leaders BOTH lost, but Starmer reckons he should stay on. Absolutely deluded.

Scotland confirmed to have our first trans MSP! Congratulations @irisduane.bsky.social!

Anas Sarwar lost his seat

I know we still have all the list shite to deal with but this from the Scottish results is still giving me small comfort.

Yeah, the Scots still seem to be inoculated against reform.

Eluned Morgan, Labour first minister in Wales has lost her seat. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland all now have govts which reject Westminster rule. In a normal country that would provoke a constitutional crisis, but in the UK the Labour govt and London centric media will try and ignore it.

UK media still act as though the SNP is some kind of temporary anomaly, and that normal service (I.e voting Tory of Labour) will be resumed shortly when Scottish voters come to their senses. 🙄🙄

SNP and Greens doing very well in Scotland and looking like success for Plaid Cymru in Wales too. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 England the class embarrassment as usual, no one is surprised. Celtic nation supremacy.

Holly Bruce takes Glasgow Southside for Scottish Greens 💚 Two women rocking it. Yay! This argument about the SNP needing a majority for a mandate for a referendum needs flushing, it doesn't reflect democracy, or what Scots want. There are two pro-Indy parties, both count.

Funniest result of the day so far

SNP projected to fall just 2 seats short of a majority, the BBC will of course paint this as a failure. When actually, coming so close to a majority after so long in power in a parliament designed to make a majority difficult to gain is actually very impressive.

Fuck the SNP gaining Shetland (historic) makes me a bit more hopeful for more SNP & Scottish Green Results 💛💚. Mon the greens 💚💪

The BBC analysis seems to be an SNP win but they're not allowed to be happy about it

Come on Wales, don’t balls this up

Let's keep this energy up! Fuck Reform always and forever.

Anas I'm not against an afternoon glass of champagne if you want to do me a solid 🙏

Also the SNP gaining Shetland is a massive result that I didn't expect, pretty seismic. Some cause for hope compared to the misery down south.

Look I get it that you can't just resign immediately before even 10% of results are in but also come on we're meant to believe Anas Sarwar isn't resigning as leader imminently? Don't be absurd.

Anas Sarwar probably losing his seat, here we here we here we fuckin go lads. 😂🥳🥂

No overnight count in Scotland and having to wait all day into the early evening for results is not the one, I'm too anxious for this personally. Looking like the predicted horror in England is coming true though, people are so thick it's infuriating. #Election2026

Another lurch to the right should do it, Keir! 👍
