"After a week of criticism from those in his own party, SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn last night said he would not seek a dual mandate to become an MSP while retaining his seat in the House of Commons.

“Hands up, I’ve got this one wrong and won’t be pursuing a dual mandate," Flynn said in a statement.

He had previously announced his decision to stand for Holyrood in 2026, challenging his party colleague Audrey Nicoll for her Aberdeen South and North Kincardine seat, while retaining his Westminster constituency.

"My aim to save the public purse from unnecessary strain by potentially overlapping the role of an MP and an MSP for a short period until the next general election was genuine in its intent AYE. FUUCKING RIGHT– but doing it for the right reasons doesn’t change the fact I got it wrong," Flynn said.

During a meeting of the equalities committee this week, the SNP's Evelyn Tweed had asked the SNP’s local government and campaigns officer Cailyn McMahon what “protections” are in place to stop a man from challenging an existing female MSP for selection in 2026.

McMahon said: “This isn’t something that I’m aware of conversations having taken place at a national executive level, or a candidate assessment committee level. But it’s definitely one that I’m happy to take away. I think it’s absolutely a valid point and this is something we should prioritise.”

Conservative MSP Graham Simpson has also introduced an amendment to the Scottish Elections (Representation and Reform) Bill currently going through parliament to prevent MSPs from also being MPs.

Of course, Flynn hasn't ruled out standing for Holyrood completely but it now looks as if he would have to resign his seat at Westminster - forcing a by-election - to be able to do so."

GIRFUY you arrogant Jute waanker.

It?s not a great plan is it? Make a tiny group of wurzels pay their fair share of tax, so some of the thicker ones with shyte accountants are forced to sell up to Black Rock all masterminded by the World Economic Forum

Worst James Bond film ever

Just been on twitter for the first time in a fortnight and saw right away where all this conspiracy shyte is coming from.

Clarkson got an article about his day on the front line during last week's Westminster protest in today's Times.

Thought it may have been for the Morning Star, but alas no.

These free thinkers free of being spoon fed narratives from the MSM always jump to the same conclusions.

Which is slightly odd
