The BBC predicts that the SNP will win the election with 63 seats.

That's two seats shy of the 65 needed for a majority in Holyrood.

Kaukab Stewart has won Glasgow Kelvin for the SNP, becoming the first woman of colour to be elected in the 22 years since the Scottish Parliament was reconvened.

The 53-year-old teacher has stood at five elections going all the way back to when she ran against Scottish Labour leader Donald Dewar in 1999.

Ms Stewart takes over the seat from Sandra White who stood down at the election.

She won with a majority of 5,458 over the Scottish Greens.

Is this huge success for Boris in England a pat on the back that he and his team have handled the Pandemic well?

i think the vaccine rollout will have contributed to it, which would never happened at the pace it did if we were still in the EU

Khan still won with a higher percentage than Johnson won both his terms of Mayor with.

Just to balance the anti Labour points.

A candidate running to be Wiltshire's next Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) has been disbarred after a historical driving offence emerged.

Jonathon Seed was the Conservative Party's candidate to replace fellow Tory Angus Macpherson.

A party spokesperson confirmed Mr Seed had been disbarred, while Mr Seed told the BBC he had withdrawn himself.

Vote counting for the PCC post is due to start in Salisbury at 10:00 GMT on Monday and is set to go ahead.

If Mr Seed wins the vote, another election will need to be held.

He said he had been advised by his party that a 30-year-old drink driving offence would not affect his candidacy and that he believed he was eligible.

Mr Seed said he was "bitterly disappointed" that he will now no longer be able to take up the post if he wins the vote and wished Mr Macpherson's eventual replacement "every success in the role".

"I will continue with my work as a local councillor and within the local community, to which I have dedicated my life for the past 20 years," he said.
