Pleased to see the SNP win in Arbroath and Broughty Ferry, my constituency. But it was phenomenally close. The SNP vote has plummeted across Scotland, but Dundee has still got 2/2 SNP MPs after this election.

Ooh that's a bit of a car crash interview with John Swinney on BBC Scotland just now. I'm a SNP supporter, but he seriously sounds as though he hasn't a clue about the public perception problems here. Still waiting anxiously to see my constituency result ...

I've been a bit too offline the last couple of days to post my proper thoughts re Nicola Sturgeon resigning. I'm a SNP supporter and an indy supporter. I am very sad to see her go. But I also respect what she has done for Scotland as a whole. I think that people outside Scotland, and especially in England, often don't realise how popular a leader she is for many in Scotland, and how much her social democracy measures are appreciated here. It is too easy for pro unionists to look on from outside and view her as a minor and irrelevant figure. When for many in Scotland she is greatly appreciated, and does an important role. I wish her all the best in the future. I hope that we get a competent leader in her place. And I hope for democracy for Scotland and all.
