Scottish election: Sturgeon rules out working with Salmond and commits to Covid inquiry
Nicola Sturgeon has said she wants a public inquiry into her government's response to the pandemic to start later this year. She is the first UK political leader to set a timeframe for a Covid inquiry.
Boris Johnson has so far resisted calls to commit to a date, and Wales' First Minister Mark Drakeford has said it should take place "when the pandemic is behind us".
Ahead of Scottish parliament elections next month, the SNP leader has been speaking about the pandemic and her resistance to working with her former mentor, turned rival, Alex Salmond.

Scottish Independence? What does the SNP Win Mean for Scotland's Exit?
Last week Scotts went to the polls to elect new MSPs and with the SNP very nearly scooping a majority we wanted to take a look at the implications of this win. We discuss the alliances which are already forming and if the SNP's win could lead to a second Scottish independence referendum and eventually the break up of the union. We also discuss some of the results out of Wales, where Labour did markedly better than in the rest of the UK.

After a stinging rebuke from the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom - which ruled that the devolved Scottish parliament cannot authorise an independence referendum - SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon has doubled down saying democracy itself is now at stake, and vowing to turn the next general election into a 'de facto' referendum. Could that work? And what does that even mean?

'Silly student politics': Alex Salmond blasts SNP gender reform fight
“For goodness sake concentrate on self-determination, not self-identification.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM5RoL4ZNGc
Soldier; doctor, leader, politician, guest, philosopher, librarian, teacher, worker, guard, attendant, etc. are the only self-identification descriptors we really need. However, it would be truly difficult for rightists to continue with their culture war against false-leftists if everyone else stopped caring about "sex" as much as rightist peeping-toms themselves do....
