The battle for headlines between The Babylon Bee and Not the Bee tilts in Not the Bee's favor.

You see, this is a story that the world's top satire writers could never have come up with.

Yes, the Scottish Greens have sent an Indian man - who claims to be "non-binary" - in the country on a temporary student visa, who has only been in Scotland since 2021, to a five-year term in Scottish parliament.

For real.

Here's the Telegraph:

A transgender Indian immigrant has become the first person to be elected to Holyrood without a permanent visa to stay in the UK.

Q Manivannan, who identifies as non-binary, was elected as an MSP on the Edinburgh & Lothians East list for the pro-independence Scottish Greens.

It was reported earlier this week that the former PhD student has appealed to colleagues for £2,089 of funding for a temporary graduate visa.

He does't even have a permanent visa and he's asking his colleagues to help pay for another temporary visa.

I'm sure he's going to be a great contributor to Holyrood.

He seems to be a great appreciator of the Scots:

Is this what William Wallace fought for?

You can't make this up.
