Anti-nationalist. Political analyst. Psephologist. Ex-Holyrood candidate. I predict events accurately. SNP/Reform shills label me an ultra-unionist.

[David Griffiths @Erudite4Unity]

No constituencies won by @ReformUKScot. Here's a suggestion. In the next Holyrood election, instead of voting for Reform, take the ballot paper, shove it up your arse and set fire to it. The effect will be just the same as wasting your vote on a losing Reform candidate. Enjoy.

SCOTTISH ELECTION 2026: FINAL CONSTITUENCY RESULTS
After nearly 12 hours of counting we have the results of all 73 constituency contests in the Scottish Parliament election.

[David Griffiths @Erudite4Unity]

@piltonjambo Exactly

[David Griffiths @Erudite4Unity]

Collum and his mob will take no chances today. Expect to see all of this:
- Rangers yellow card in the 1st 10 mins
- No Celtic yellow card until after 80 mins
- Celtic penalty
- Good Rangers goal overturned by VAR
- 1 or possibly 2 Rangers red cards
- McInnes sent to the stand

[David Griffiths @Erudite4Unity]

The unmistakable slide continues inexorably for @reformparty_uk. Farage will bail out as soon as he realises the game is up.

More disappointment for @CStevensonSNP. She has returned her Henry the Hoover to Amazon. She feels that ever since it was delivered, it has just been gathering dust.

I guarantee I will experience all these symptoms from about 02:00 until 23:00 tomorrow and I won't need any deadly street drugs to make it happen.

@Cromwellian77 @ron_bod Very accurate. 👍🇬🇧

@adidasler3 💯

[David Griffiths @Erudite4Unity]

@adidasler3 Cheatin' Beaton, the weakest man in Scotland, will eagerly follow his instructions from the opening whistle.

[David Griffiths @Erudite4Unity]

@ron_bod Hell, no. When it comes to sport, I couldn't tip rubbish. Whereas my political predictions, as opposed to the stories I occasionally hear and pass on, are unparalleled in their accuracy.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

A four-point lead is a lot better going into its conference than Labour could have hoped for under K Starmer. But A Burnham is a lucky general. His arrival has coincided with Reform’s unravelling.
Some questions for party conference season:
Can Labour grow its lead?
Can Tories overtake Reform?
Can Reform/Farage dig themselves out of the morass they’re in ?
Will Lib Dems really stick with their plonker of a leader now they’re languishing at 8% in the polls?

Countries suing the British for reparations for slavery is like if the Dutch now sued Britain for having waited too long to liberate it during World War II.

[David Griffiths @Erudite4Unity]

@Laudruplegend11 @reformparty_uk You disagree? Which party do you think will win most seats in the next election?

[David Griffiths @Erudite4Unity]

This trend will continue. The Conservatives will overtake Reform long before the next election. In terms of seats won by party, @reformparty_uk will not be in the top 5.

In the name of God, why would Sturgeon not be the first name on the witness list?

It's Andy! Has he told us the Collette Stevenson incident is both a crap story and a great triumph for John Swinney yet? You know it's coming.

“The fundamental problem is that the UK is upside down”

@akmaciver explains why he thinks mandates are so important for guiding policy, particularly in the current UK political system.

[David Griffiths @Erudite4Unity]

@DeanMThomson There is absolutely not a chance of the SNP losing seats if @ReformUKScot fields candidates in all 57 Westminster constituencies. Look what happened in May when the SNP beat Reform by 57 constituencies to 0. @Malcolm_Offord will do all he can to ensure another thumping SNP win.

[David Griffiths @Erudite4Unity]

@broony1987 Great find.

[David Griffiths @Erudite4Unity]

To be clear, the leader of Glasgow’s SNP council is publicly acknowledging that more refugees arriving in Glasgow puts pressure on public services. I thought these refugees were vital to staff the NHS? He's arguing against the party line there. Has Collette Stevenson commented?

[Clyde 1 News @Clyde1News]

🏠 Glasgow council leader Ricky Bell’s calling for a ‘pause’ on housing asylum seekers in the city

🎥 He’s telling us it would help ease pressure on services, and also wants towns around Glasgow to help share the load…

@Katycat1960 Fabulous.

@KirbyODonnell22 I don't interact with homophobic, sectarian bigots. You desperately need to undergo diversity training, although it would probably have no effect as your hatred is so deeply entrenched

Riddled with informants, the IRA surrendered unconditionally to the British Army having met none of its military and political objectives. Literally not one. They lost and surrendered. What a legacy.

[Belfast Books @BelfastBooks]

Mr Books is deeper inside William’s head than the Brits ever were inside the Provos who ended up abandoning their insurgency and surrendering their weapons.

Can anyone link me to where the British Army gave up their guns?
