The SNP have won the Scottish Parliament election five consecutive times (2007, 2011, 2016, 2021, 2026), which is extraordinary in a proportional parliamentary system.

Labour’s and Reform’s vote share has resulted with them both being tied on 17 seats.

@FerroxGhilie @meldrum_suzanne @theSNP We will end the 8am rush. People deserve this.

[#ScotBudget @scotbudget]

@meldrum_suzanne @JohnSwinney @ShonaRobison Pensioners benefit from tax free allowances and support for heating bills as well as inflation-proof pensions which rise in line with earnings in years where earning grow faster than prices. They get free bus travel too. What more should we give them, Suzanne?

.@BBCr4today has now apologised on air so everyone who was paying attention now realises that 55% of Scottish taxpayers will pay less tax than had they been in England. As it’s only a maximum of 11 pence per day, we didn’t think they’d bother to correct. Yet they have. Good.
