Referring to Dunblane as “one murder” is a shameful distortion of one of Scotland’s darkest days.
16 children and their teacher were massacred in the UK’s deadliest mass shooting.
A stark reminder of just how out of touch Britain’s privileged elites really are.
For my non-UK friends who don't follow our politics:
- The leader of the far right party has called an election in his area as a publicity stunt to show he can win against "the establishment"
- He will be running exclusively against a man wearing a bin
- He might actually lose
I have contacted SNP leader John Swinney and Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth to congratulate them on their enormous mandates.
For the first time ever, there could be three pro-independence First Ministers across these islands.
More and more people are looking towards a future beyond the constraints of the Union.
I look forward to continuing to build the friendship between the people of our nations, and to working closely with both John and Rhun in the time ahead.
