Twice. Bitter #fmqs” @AYRGJH noted: “No one is running down Scotland. They are holding the SNP to account. The SNP are not Scotland.

#DOGSATPOLLING STATIONS

Dogs Trust teamed up with Twitteruk to encourage polling stations to host ‘pawing stations’ as excitement built for bringing dogs to the voting booths. @Reetukabra posted: “The only thing I’m looking forward to in general election: #dogsatpollingstations” @Upandgeorgia joked: “I think that, if you don’t vote, you shouldn’t be allowed to enjoy #dogsatpollingstations.” @140isnotenough tweeted: “I mean #dogsatpollingstations will have to be pretty good to make this year’s #GE2017 malarkey worthwhile.” @laurenward_1990 asked: “Anyone got a dog I can borrow tomorrow? Or will my cat do?”
