@louemaclean parliament party system. Party with most votes in power, leader of that party is the PM. Like when Blair stepped down and Brown became labour leader&PM. Or when Salmon stepped down n sturgeon became SNP leader/FM.
Sorry to hear of the passing of another great Scottish cyclist. Some of my earliest memories in the sport featured @RabWardell a strong, witty personality who’d help anyone. Below is a video of one of his many spectacular achievements/projects. RIP
The Paralympic Movement is 73 today! 🎉
Sir Ludwig Guttmann pictured speaking at the Stoke Mandeville Games. The inaugural competition took place on this day, 29 July 1948, the same day as the start of the #Olympics in London.
This annual event became the #Paralympics.
We're proud of the lifesaving work our volunteers do in the Channel – we make no apology for it. Those we rescue are vulnerable people in danger & distress. Each of them is someone’s father, mother, son or daughter - every life is precious. This is why we launch:
You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens.
Pioneer. Trailblazer. Legend
Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the father of the @Paralympics movement, was born on this day in 1899. The word 'legacy' barely does him justice...
