SCOTTISH Labour has unveiled a Highlands and Islands manifesto which includes a promise to invest in Scotlandâs ferry fleet and devolve more powers from Edinburgh to local communities. Party leader Anas Sarwar said: âFor many communities in the Highlands and Islands the pandemic exposed the challenges they have long faced. 4 of 13Adverts âFrom poor digital connectivity to isolation to barriers in healthcare access, the difficulties posed by the pandemic are by no means new to communities in the Highlands and Islands. âThe Highlands and Islands cannot afford another five years of bickering about the same old arguments. The next parliament needs to be focused on rebuilding your economy and your communities after Covid.â ....
Save this story for later. On a sharp morning on the southern edge of Glasgow, Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister of Scotland and the leader of the Scottish National Party, arrived at a dentistâs office for a photo opportunity. Scotland has had its own government since the late nineties, when certain powers were devolved to the country, almost three hundred years after it formed a political union with England. The S.N.P., which has run Scotland since 2007, wants the country to secede from the United Kingdom altogether. On May 6th, Scottish voters will decide whether to reëlect the Party and back Sturgeonâs demand for the second independence referendum in a decade, which polls suggest that she might win.

I was born into the first generation to benefit from a National Health Service with the core principles that it meets the needs of everyone, and is free to all at the point of delivery. NHS Scotland is funded by the Scottish Government out of the block grant it gets as being part of the United Kingdom. 6 of 17Adverts I’m not surprised that the SNP are skirting around the details of their desired partition of the UK (aka ‘independence’). If the SNP and the other partitionist parties, Alba and the Greens, eventually get their way there will be no UK block grant to fund those NHS core principles. ....
http://shet.news/ekcah Copied! âWEâVE GOT new young members who are really active, so it feels very different this time around,â says second-time SNP candidate Tom Wills when asked to assess the partyâs chances of ending a Liberal hegemony that has lasted since the Scottish Parliamentâs foundation. In the August 2019 by-election to replace Liberal Democrat MSP Tavish Scott, who had held the Shetland seat for 20 years, Wills came a creditable second with 32 per cent of the vote. But to go one better this time around requires overturning a margin of nearly 2,000 votes that separated him and Scottâs successor Beatrice Wishart. ....
