An MSP has condemned vandalism at her constituency office after "Tory Scum" was spray-painted on a wall.
Annie Wells has said she will report the incident in Glasgow to police.
The abuse was sprayed in red paint on the wall of the office in Maryhill Road between Friday evening and Monday morning.
She tweeted a picture of the graffiti, adding: "Happy new year! A civic and joyous start to 2020 at our constituency office."

A spokesman for the MSP said: "It's depressing that abusive graffiti like this has become the norm for MSPs and MPs across Scotland.
"It's not a particularly nice way to start the new year but it won't stop Annie from continuing to get things done for her constituents and people in Glasgow."

Last year, the MSP said she had contacted police over fears for her safety following online threats and abuse.
The vandalism at her office is the latest incident of MSPs being targeted.
During the general election campaign, a window was smashed and "SNP out" was spray-painted on the constituency office of Communities and Local Government Secretary Aileen Campbell, in Carluke, South Lanarkshire.
The SNP MSP said at the time she was "deeply saddened" by the attack.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
