Things are heating up in Scotland as elections approach. Former SNP leader Alex Salmond continues to clash with his successor, and has formed a new party. Holyrood and Westminster, meanwhile, are on a collision course over independence.
With his incendiary defence against accusations of misconduct, former SNP leader Alex Salmond has lobbed a grenade into the heart of Holyrood. Nevertheless, support for independence remains solid. Explosive events lie ahead in Scotland.
With support for Scottish independence riding high, the establishment are panicking about the future of the Union. Boris’ recent visit to Scotland, however, has only made matters worse. Holyrood and Westminster are on a collision course.
Boris Johnson has again managed to pour petrol on the flames with his loose-tonged approach – this time by revealing his real thoughts about devolution. Rising support for independence is yet another thorn in the PM’s side.
The Scottish government has provoked a furore amongst school students by deploying a “postcode lottery” exam results system that discriminates based on class backgrounds. Capitalism is institutionalised inequality.
