New SNP MP Lara Bird has been sworn into the House of Commons after winning the Arbroath and Broughty Ferry by-election with a majority of more than 5,000 over the Conservatives. As she took the oath of allegiance she pledged loyalty to the "sovereign people of Scotland" ahead of the King, and was accused of crossing her fingers while doing it.
