    Holyrood’s departing Presiding Officer has raised concerns about the future of politics in Scotland as she warned the job had become increasingly toxic.

    The seat-by-seat breakdown of the poll, carried out for The National by Electoral Calculus and Find Out Now, suggests that apart from Scottish Lib Dem leader Alex Cole-Hamilton winning in Edinburgh North Western and Labour’s Daniel Johnson holding on to Edinburgh Southern, all the rest of the constituencies in Edinburgh and the Lothians would be won by the SNP.

    On the regional list, the Conservatives would keep only one of the three they won at the last Holyrood election, Labour would retain both of theirs, the Lib Dems would win one, as would Reform, and the Greens would retain both of theirs.

    Nice one! Three 'vote green' signs on our street. No other ones yet, I think.
