Southern senators in the sixties who defended states rights. This vote, im ashamed to say, is further evidence that Voter Suppression has become part of the official platform of the republican party. In an unusual move, Vice President harris presided over the senate during tonights vote afterward chief vowed democrats will continue pushing for federal Voting Rights legislation. When were talking about the right to vote, it is not a republican concern or a democratic concern it isnt an american concern. This is about the american peoples right to vote. Unfettered. It is about their access to the right to vote in a meaningful way, because nobody is debating i dont believe, whether all americans have the right to vote. The bottom line is that the president and i are very clear to support as one, to support the john lewis Voting Rights act and the fight is not over. Since january of this year, just since january at least 14 states have a net did 22 new laws that restrict access to voting.

Patrick harvie and lorna slater were given Government Minister Rolls and they were summarily sacked last week in the early hours of the morning. And then turfed out onto the street to face the media, something that made them extremely angry with humza yousaf. The party had been planning to have a meeting at which their own members would have potentially brought that agreement to an end but obviously it would have been on their own time so some felt on the was under pressure to push them out before he jumped was under pressure to push them out before hejumped but the manner in which he did so, he perhaps underestimated the strength of their fury and im not sure if he did the sums and he left himself in the position of requiring the support of ash regan from the albot party which is led by alex salmond, she is the only msp and she defected from the msp ansell humza yousaf was left needing her boat and i believe he would have got her vote but within his own party it was unacceptable to be
