"These are serious times, serious times deserve serious politicians and they don't get much more serious than John Swinney," he says.

Stephen Flynn has to "own" his advice to Humza Yousaf to sack the Greens, he got it wrong. The SNP have to appeal to the Scottish electorate not just to the "comfortable slipper" old guard in the Scottish National Party. Kate Forbes is the only person that can re-invigorate the party and give Scottish politics the direction it needs.

@jeanetteeftekhar6762 19 дней назад

Scotland needs an election. Why has it been tough for Flynn, he is in Westminster. Anyone who thinks thst Yusef did a good job has not been living on Scotland.

@alasdairfinlayson 17 дней назад

@@Harrier_DuBois never voted Tory in my life, Scottish born and bred. Born a citizen of the two greatest countries in the world, and don't like SNP trying to bully me out of that. The Scottish people are tired of paying the price for the obsessive wrong belief of the SNP that independence will make things better for Scotland. They won't. It'll make it infinitely worse in every aspect. The SNP hierarchy know that, and have cleverly manoeuvred themselves out of the equation over the last few years, rather than face the music. Think about that.

However, the strip of Moldovan territory on the east bank of the Dniester has been under the de facto control of the breakaway government of Transnistria since 1990. it's the creation of moldove is back, the end of human origins in moldove in 2025 on future?
