I'm pretty sure (I haven't run back through all results, I have a dug to talk for a sunny walk) this is the first by-election in quite some time where the SNP's two candidate preferred share is higher than in 2022, not merely slumping less badly than Labour's.
Southside Central (Glasgow) by-election transfers, votes at final head-to-head stage:
SNP: 1775 (47.3%, +1.7)
Labour: 1366 (36.4%, -3.1)
Didn't Transfer: 608 (16.2%, +1.4)
SNP elected stage 8.

📢 I’m standing to be the SNP candidate for my home constituency of Ettrick, Roxburgh & Berwickshire.
🏴 Rachael Hamilton and the Tories have taken the Borders for granted for far too long. It’s time for a fresh start.
