IT seems that Ruth Davidson just can't get enough of the SNP during this election campaign after she was seen joining an SNP event.
The former Scottish Tory leader will soon be giving up her seat at Holyrood to join the un-elected House of Lords as Baroness Davidson.
She has been campaigning hard for the Tories in the current campaign, now entering its final days, and appearing on a lot of the Tory election leaflets alongside the party's actual leader, Douglas Ross.
Despite spending years fighting against the SNP in Holyrood, she must have heard about the line-up of Scottish talent appearing at the SNP's virtual Get Out the Vote rally.
Sunday's virtual rally was broadcast live across the SNP's social media channels and included appearances from the likes of Alan Cumming, Elaine C Smith and Line of Duty star Martin Compston.
Baroness Davidson's Twitter handle was noticed hopping into the livestream chat as the event was taking place by some eagle-eyed viewers.
Murray Foote, the SNP's media chief, caught the Baroness taking a nosey at the livestream and tweeting out a screenshot and adding: "Someone knows where the party’s at tonight ..."

He later added: "Gotta be better enjoying tonight’s SNP show than listening to the Boris headlines, eh @RuthDavidsonMSP ?"
Twitter users were happy to see Davidson enjoying the event with SNP strategist Ross Colquhoun replying: "Someone's tempted to make it #BothVotesSNP."
The event saw Alan Cumming hosting with discussions with Scottish actor Brian Cox, performances from folksinger Iona Fyfe and Littlest Chicken as well as highlighting the SNP's plan for Scotland.
It also featured an interview with Martin Compston ahead of the Line of Duty finale.

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!
