## Resource

Two new MPs sworn into the House of Commons shake up Scotland’s political scene: SNP’s Lara Bird, who boldly pledged loyalty to Scots over crown—and even crossed her fingers during the oath—wins big in Arbroath by beating Tories by 5K votes. Meanwhile, Conservative Douglas Lumsden, wielding a bible and pledging allegiance to the King, unseats the SNP in Aberdeen South with a 6K majority, fueled by Tory energy policies. Their contrasting oaths mirror Scotland’s shifting political tides as both step into Westminster with distinct agendas. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
