A busy day supporting SNP candidate @johnredpathsnp.bsky.social in Selkirk yesterday. If this week has proven anything - it’s that it has to be SNP on the 7th of May. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thank you @johnredpathsnp.bsky.social , SNP candidate for Ettrick, Roxburgh and Berwickshire for visiting our stand and signing our pledge to make lung health a priority in Scotland by improving prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care #SNP25

Glenrothes Central and Thornton (Fife) by-election, first preferences: SNP: 1439 (47.6%, -1.1) Labour: 649 (21.5%, -6.4) Reform UK: 541 (17.9%, new) Lib Dem: 207 (6.9%, +2.9) Conservative: 185 (6.1%, -5.9) SNP elected stage TBC. 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’s the return policy on a Labour UK Government?
