As Tom should know, you really couldn't make it up because it's the Scottish Parliament's own system which determines the proportionality:

🧵You couldn't make it up.
Amid the Peter Murrell and Indyref2 funding scandals, the SNP is proposing to take control of the Holyrood committees dealing with finance, criminal justice and public service reform by having its MSPs as both the convener and deputy convener..
Happy Pride Month!
This month and every month, we stand with LGBTQ+ people across Scotland, celebrating pride, equality and the right to live openly and safely.
Historic change is happening.
For the first time ever, there could be three nationalist, pro-Independence First Ministers across these islands.
The demand for independence is growing.
Anas Sarwar never stood a chance in the Holyrood election as he was judged in relation to Keir Starmer.
This defeat should raise profound questions about the link between Scottish and UK Labour.
🏴 Polls are showing momentum is with the SNP, and a majority is within touching distance.
But, and it’s a big but, it will only happen if everyone who wants it votes for it.
Be part of history - if there is one thing you do - remind SNP voters to vote on Thursday 7th May.
Before the war in Iran I made clear: it is only fair that we have a windfall tax when energy companies make windfall profits, so we can help families with the cost of living.
The Tories, Reform, SNP all oppose it.
Only this Labour government stands up for working people.
And we still have to contend with Westminster interference on a daily basis.
Yet access to services, housing and an NHS that works is available in Scotland, where it isn't in the rest of the UK - where Labour is currently in administration.
Make of that what you will.
One of the biggest problems any government or local authority faces is the legacy that's left by decisions made in the past.
For the SNP, that was Labour/LibDem decisions from 1999 to 2007, and Westminster decisions for hundreds of years before that.
Perspective matters.
Two decades of governing Scotland.
10,000 children stuck in temporary accommodation.
Always someone else’s fault.
The perfect demonstration of why Scotland needs change with @ScottishLabour 🌹
It's a fact that Labour will need Reform to help prop up any government... This is simply performative nonsense.
Vote both votes @theSNP for a majority SNP government that will lock Westminster interference out of Scotland for good. A government that's on Scotland's side.
With less than 20 days to go to end 20 years of SNP failure, people across Scotland are voting @ScottishLabour to deliver change.
Return your postal vote today with both votes for Scottish Labour to beat the SNP, reject Reform, and build a better future for Scotland 🏴
So... Either Keir Starmer did know and he's lying about it, or he genuinely didn't know, meaning he's not in control of his own government.
Either way this should be the end of Starmer.
Under the SNP, people in Scotland get the best cost of living support in the UK.
But I want us to do more, and that’s what our manifesto is about.
Tomorrow I will set out how we can put more money in people’s pockets, improve our NHS and deliver the fresh start of independence.
The leaders of Scottish Labour and Reform in Scotland are both accusing each other of lying following some fiery exchanges at our leader’s debate last night.
I've heard enough from Labour patsies tonight about "lies" and "liars" but the truth is they've been concocting this poisonous, grubby scenario to be propped up by a racist Reform party grabbing power they don't deserve.
You simply can't trust these actual liars.
Just to remind the desperate Labour spinners that your *own strategists* were briefing this to the press just a few weeks ago.
Vote Labour, get Reform.
These arrogant, anti-democratic, Westminster "politicians" wedded to a system where Scotland gets bled dry as our people struggle thanks to their reckless decisions.
So much for a voluntary union. Time for independence.
"The country has had enough of chaos!"
Wes Streeting rules out Scottish independence, telling @Lewis_Goodall that there will be no fresh referendum even if the SNP get a majority.
