All they do is shout' Dugdale on how independence-obsessed SNP is failing Scotland


SCOTTISH Labour leader Kezia Dugdale has said voting for the SNP is useless because "all they do is campaign for independence and shout at Tories".

Kezia Dugdale laid into the credibility of the SNP under Nicola Sturgeon as Scottish voters turn off the independence-obsessed party.

During an interview of Ridge on Sunday, Ms Dugdale condemned the nationalist party as useless and urged Scotland to send a message on June 8.

This follows growing support for an anti-SNP coalition, from voters "fed up" with the party ignoring domestic issues for independence campaigning.

Deal on Health Bill:‘We Have Enough Votes’ Says House G.O.P. Leader

WASHINGTON — House Republican leaders planned to hold a showdown vote Thursday on their bill to repeal and replace large portions of the Affordable Care Act after adding $8 billion to the measure to help cover insurance costs for people with pre-existing conditions.

“We have enough votes,” Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the House majority leader, said Wednesday night. “It’ll pass.”

A breakthrough came earlier Wednesday thanks to an amendment proposed by Representative Fred Upton of Michigan, with the support of Representative Billy Long of Missouri, to add the money to the bill. The two Republican lawmakers had come out against the health care legislation, warning that it did not do enough to protect the sick, but they threw their support behind it on Wednesday.

President Trump blessed Mr. Upton’s proposal at a White House meeting with the two lawmakers as he pressed hard for a vote that could at least ensure House approval of the bill, which embodies one of his central campaign promises. The vote Thursday will carry enormous potential consequences  for millions of patients, for Mr. Trump’s legislative agenda and for Speaker Paul D. Ryan, who has failed twice in recent weeks to bring the bill to the House floor.

Tillerson presses for economic sanctions on North Korea in special UN meeting


Secretary of State Rex Tillerson took the escalating threat of a nuclear North Korea to the United Nations Security Council Friday, urging member countries to financially cut ties with Pyongyang and freeze access to funds that could be used to build up that nation’s nuclear arsenal.

Tillerson called on the international community to fully implement U.N. sanctions and to suspend or downgrade diplomatic ties as well with North Korea.

“With each successive detonation and missile test, North Korea pushes northeast Asia and the world closer to instability and broader conflict," Tillerson said. "The threat of a North Korean attack on Seoul or Tokyo is real."

More From The Significance of The Treaty of Rome


ON MARCH 25th the European Union’s heads of government will gather in the glorious Sala Degli Orazi e Curiazi of Rome’s Palazzo dei Conservatori to issue a solemn declaration of unity. The moment will be freighted with significance: exactly 60 years earlier, as expectant crowds huddled under umbrellas on the Piazza del Campidoglio outside, plenipotentiaries from six Western European countries France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg assembled in the same room to sign the Treaty of Rome.

The 1957 treaty established the institutions that made up the European Economic Community the European Commission, the Council of Ministers, the European Parliament and the European Court of Justice (ECJ) which was in time to become the EU. (A second treaty signed that day created the European Atomic Energy Community, later folded into the EU.) What was the significance of the Treaty of Rome?
