Ideal. Just sorting my popcorn for the next instalment.

Hallo all!

To watch the 2pm announcement m.youtube.com/watch?v=wj2pwYos8dU

Real Life Soap at its finest.

Drumroll... 🥁

Checking in, I'd thought that the excitement was over, but maybe not! I'll post my question again here...

Totally thick question, but as it's an anonymous forum I'll ask! If he's standing, as what? An MSP? So he'd potentially be an MSP with Nicola Sturgeon as his boss?

No, if he's standing it won't be for the SNP

Well, not unless there's been a quiet coup!

So Independant?

Probably for AFI or independent

I’m told this announcement will have significant impact on election. We’ll see at 1400.

Thank you, I though that would be just a bit too #awkward

Bloody Hell, the long tease going on here is getting ridiculous! 😁

I’m hearing rumours of a new “Alba Party” on Twitter.

3 candidates
1st is eva comrie - who was an SNP candidate in mid scotland and fife
She's going straight in on equalities policies...

I think there's more than 3 - he's just introducing 3 just now

I think good chance JC in there too

2 women candidates so far, who is no. 3? 👀👀👀

Twitter seems to think they're standing in every constituency, let's see...

Number 2: Cynthia Guthrie (I don't know her but she's SNP too)
Number 3: Chris Macalleny (might be mis-spelling that) - Inverclyde councillor, formerly lead the party, no longer standing on west of Scotland list...
