Amidst today’s drama, let’s not forget that Jane Dodds, our new MP for Brecon and Radnorshire and Beatrice Wishart, our new MSP for Shetland, take their seats today.
So not only are the Government content to shut down Parliament, they are now thinking of calling an election to silence MPs and enable a #NoDealBrexit.
These attempts to override MPs won’t succeed, we will continue the fight to take #NoDeal off the table. https://t.co/Xo4hEv70zk

I'm absolutely delighted to have been elected as the new MSP for Shetland. I am extremely proud of the positive campaign we have run. Thank you to the voters who put their faith in me. https://t.co/71UFNf5QMS

Good luck to both of them. We’ll be updating this post with details of their first days in their respective Parliaments.
