    UPDATE: Since we wrote and animated this video, John Swinney has announced he won't be running to become the new leader of the Scottish National Party.

    the broad list of governmental positions show that one doesn't need to know anything of the subject one is the head of.

    she steps down because is is a barrier in negotiation? that's a hell of self-restain and openness. wish Colbin had that 6 years ago. we would not be in thus mess today

    I wonder how many trans woman lives in Scotland or in UK as the matter. while individuals tragedies are a pity I wonder whether they are elevated as a social problem unnecessarily

    How does these four canditates differ *politically*?
    That's what matters in a proportional system, not so much the experience of individuals…

    Don't vote Labour, don't vote Tory, if they're tims then you'll be sorry
    And for God's sake never vote the SNP

    Its refreshing to see a UK politician retire because they are competent and failed, not because they were incompetent and failed.

    The Queen of Scots got her reasons ón point. She have seen Five UK PM and the death of the Queen, so that's a big achievement lasting that long lol.

    The trans issue is not a big reason of this. The Trans Jail issue is more complex bc of hard cases that happened, so it's difficult to deal yet.

    What about David Cameron he left on his own accord right ?

    I hope it's hamza "Scotland is too Huwhite" Yusaf so the Scottish finally get the racist cunt that matches their temperment.

  14. @grimnir8872

    December 21, 2023 at 2:10 pm

    Sorry but you really did miss the forest for the trees here. The reason Wee Krankie resigned and indeed why her SNP party were so adamant on independence is because greater and greater scrutiny is coming about in the SNP's spending habits, which more and more begin to look more corrupt and feckless. Billions spent on unfinished Ferries, the Scottish NHS and Education facing issues due to mismanagement of funding and millions of pounds vanishing through the SNP's fingers, all while Sturgeon claims her own internal investigations are clean and trying to paw off any scrutiny from Westminister.

    Why does the deputy first leader not want the job ? thought john would take over automatically ?

    Imagine saying "a trans woman getting sent to a male prison for rape" and thinking you live in a functional country

Could Another Brexit Debate End Farage?

Nigel Farage said Andy Burnham’s comments about potentially rejoining the EU had given him “the biggest boost in [his] career”. We look at why — even if it seems counter-intuitive — another Brexit debate could actually hurt Farage.

Remainers: Why Hasn’t the Economy Collapsed Yet? – Brexit Explained

Published

on



TeeSpring Store: https://teespring.com/stores/tldr-winter

Before the Brexit referendum, a whole bunch of MPs explained to Britain how the economy would collapse post-Brexit. While Brexit hasn’t yet happened, some did say that the destruction would take place immediately after the vote; which didn’t exactly happen as expected. So in this video, we explain what’s happened and why the economy hasn’t done too badly in the end.
