#Biden cited recent comments by #Trump vowing “#retribution” against his foes, accusing #NBC News of "#treason” & suggesting that the outgoing chairman of the #JointChiefs of Staff, Gen. #MarkMilley, might deserve to be put to death. The president also decried plans being developed by Trump’s allies to erode the #independence of major #agencies, wipe out much of the top ranks of #CivilService & make senior #government officials personally #loyal to him.

There’s always more to an #SNP story than first meets the eye…
Quite why Sturgeon allowed this festering boil to simmer for so many years is a question, along with many many others, for her to answer to.
The SNP doesn’t seem that good at getting ahead of a story anymore… which imperils #independence — unless it gets its act together sharpish…

Agreed, so is the lack of #ScottishIndependence down to the #UK government not allowing #Scotland a vote?
There's a strong voice for #Independence, but what happened in 2014, & what's changed in the following 10 years that'll swing it this time around?
Austerity? Brexit? #CostOfLivingCrisis?
Who'll own the territorial waters & defend them?
If I was gunning for #ScottishIndependence I'd outline every last issue & pitfall & give a detailed solution to how it'd work in practice.
In #England all we hear is less than 50% of #Scotland want #Independence & they've zero clue what they'll do in practice if they ever get it.
Now back to #Labour. Look how they've switched tactics & are now creating the UK's political narrative?
There's lessons to be learned for the #Scots.
Under the agreement, Armenian forces had to withdraw from these areas & have since been confined to a smaller part of the region.

32 Years Ago Today – How Ukraine Declared Its Independence
On Aug. 24, 1991, in the wake of a failed putsch in moscow, the then still Soviet Ukrainian parliament declared Ukraine’s #independence. Here’s the intricate story of how it happened.
Bohdan Nahaylo shares some insights drawn from his book The Ukrainian Resurgence (1999) which dealt with those critical years in Ukraine’s #history.

In #Kyiv (back then Kiev) the Rada of #Ukraine adopted the #Independence Act and called for a referendum in support of it - the country is marking its main state holiday today

I long for #independence but you’d think for a nation that feels neglected by its central govt would do better in preventing the same apathy but a govt in #Holyrood feels just as far away & out of touch as #westminster.
The challenges & responsibilities of the islands’ councils heavily outweigh those of their mainland counterparts. Things like devolving a tourist tax to councils are minuscule in what is needed to equip those Govts in delivering for & retaining their residents. #politics
