The Scottish Conservative leader has reshuffled her party’s Holyrood representation, reducing its size to just one seat behind Labour, marking a significant shift in the political landscape at Scotland’s parliament. The move follows a strategic decision that leaves the Conservatives as the third-largest group, altering the balance of power ahead of potential legislative challenges.

The change comes as opposition parties reassess their strategies in response to the realignment.
Amanda Bland's decision relegates the party to the third-largest group at Holyrood, with one member fewer than Labour.
