FM @NicolaSturgeon: "The daily update of confirmed cases will be published at 2pm today as normal. I can tell Parliament we will see a sharp rise in cases today. We may also see further evidence of community transmission of Coronavirus." #FMQs
FM: "My view is the time is right to move to the Delay phase, and I believe the four UK nations will reach a decision on that this afternoon." #FMQs
FM: "The Health Secretary and I have been considering what further actions we need to take, particularly to protect the resilience of our frontline emergency workers. That does involve our position on mass gatherings." #FMQs
Opinion: I've raised this issue before but it needs action?
UK Politicians continually refer to scottish Independence in a manner that breaches the law?
Supporting Independence is a Democratic Political Right!
Solon (Commentator)
Anyone has a legal democratic right to support Scottish Independence..
Anyone has a right to democratically oppose it...
No one (especially not politicians) have a right to deligitimise its right to exist or its rightful legal status as a political cause in a democracy|
To refer to Scottish Independence support with the suggestion it is somehow illegitimate is an act that is discriminatory and needs challenged?
...gender, sexual orientation, race, nationality,...all are rights ..political freedom within the law in the uk is also a right!
FM🏴@NicolaSturgeon: "I'm asking Parliament to endorse a basic but fundamental principle - that Scotland's future should be decided not by politicians at Westminster who haven't won a GE in Scotland since the 1950s,but instead by all of us who live here and call Scotland home."
@NicolaSturgeon FM🏴@NicolaSturgeon: "It is the sovereign right of the people of Scotland to determine the form of Government best suited to our needs. That is the declaration at the heart of the Claim Of Right and it should be endorsed by this Parliament today."
@NicolaSturgeon FM🏴@NicolaSturgeon: "These trade negotiations are about to be led by a UK Govt that is completely deaf to Scotland's interests, needs, and voice. At no point has any effort whatsoever been made to understand Scotland's different views or accommodate our interests in any way."
