I have to say, on the eve of poll, when we're sitting putting the report together for the 10 o'clock news with my colleagues, and we're putting in the little clips, and we put in the clip of Russell Finlay, and all of us just said, he doesn't look very happy, does he?

There's something wrong there.

And no wonder.

But there's other people who are unhappy too.

The SNP, it's not all triumph for them.

They've lost some key seats.

And Angus Robertson, a cabinet minister, was unseated himself in Parliament.

Edinburgh Central I saw him yesterday I drove past him he didn't see me he was driving his car and I thought he looks really worried and well he might have looked worried as it turned out because he was defeated by the Greens who had a fantastic day he might have just seen a red light listen to be fair I think he was just like he was driving a car I'm not reading I'm over interpreting how worried he looked at that moment

Yeah, the Greens are absolutely delighted.

They're delighted about their win there and their win in Glasgow Southside.

And both of those seats are very interesting because one was Angus Robertson, as you say, an SNP cabinet minister.

Not only that, but he was defeated by the former co-leader of the Greens, Lorna Slater, who was unceremoniously, along with her fellow co-leader, chucked out of the power-sharing arrangement by Hamza Yousaf.

So, I mean, she might well think that that was a degree of sweet retribution.

And the seat that they won in Glasgow used to belong, until she stood down at this election, to one Nicola Sturgeon.

Well, I've been asking him about that.

I actually had quite a long chat with him earlier.

And I was saying to him, you know, you didn't get to that 65.

You've fallen back in vote share.

You've fallen back in seats.

All right, there's a pro-independence majority in the Parliament alongside the Scottish Greens.
