SNP will insist on unpicking Brexit as price for backing Labour if Starmer fails to win majority
THE SNP would insist on unpicking Brexit as its price for supporting Labour in a hung parliament.
The Scottish Nationalists claim they will pull the strings if Sir Keir Starmer falls short of an overall majority at next year’s General Election.
Scotland’s EU Accession spokesman Alyn Smith claimed: ‘The SNP could hold the balance of power’[/caption]
Their EU Accession spokesman Alyn Smith said: “The SNP could hold the balance of power.
“We’d use our influence to undo Brexit as far as possible and demand the UK has a close relationship with the EU.”
Mr Smith predicted: “The SNP could force a minority Labour government to rejoin the EU single market, reintroduce free movement and transfer power for an independence referendum to Edinburgh — so Scotland can regain our place in Europe.”
Last month, The Sun reported that Scottish independence backers were deserting SNP for Labour.
The Strathclyde University politics professor told The Scottish Sun on Sunday: “The crucial thing going on is that this is happening despite the fact that support for independence is not falling.
“The SNP’s problem is that they’re no longer commanding the support of Yes voters to the degree they’ve done at recent elections.”
Although Nats support has recently slumped, backing for indy has remained steady at around 48 per cent.
‘Victim/Suspect’ trailer: How the criminal justice system fails victims of assault
The upcoming documentary Victim/Suspect follows journalist Rae de Leon as she investigates a disturbing pattern across sexual assault cases nationwide — survivors who go to the police to report their assaults are often treated as suspects.
In de Leon’s research, which includes recordings from police interrogations, interviews with victims, and accounts from legal experts, we learn that survivors reporting their assault are sometimes charged with or even arrested for filing a false report. Victim/Suspect offers a painful look into a criminal justice system that fails its victims and emboldens a hostile environment that threatens those who speak up. This is the latest documentary from filmmaker Nancy Schwartzman, whose harrowing investigation Roll Red Roll was nominated for a Peabody.

Trapeze artist falls 30ft to her death after her husband fails to catch her in daring stunt watched by screaming crowd
A TRAPEZE artist fell 30ft to her death after her husband failed to catch her in a daring stunt watched by a screaming crowd.
Footage shared online shows the moment Sun Moumou, 37, fell to the hard stage during a show in Suzhou city, China, on Saturday.
Her husband failed to catch her with his legs as the couple performed a risky change of position in mid-air.
Sun fell from more than 32ft above the ground, according to local news reports.
She is said to have been taken to hospital but doctors were unable to save her life.
Her husband said: “We were always happy together.
“As I am in the middle of the process of dealing with all of this, I can’t disclose any specific details at this time.”
In the shocking clip, spectators can be heard screaming as Sun loses her grip.
A colleague said she was still breathing “weakly” following the tragic fall.
The performance was cancelled immediately as were planned shows over the weekend.
Anhui Yaxi Performing Art Media has been fined more than £5,600 for “holding commercial performances without approval”, according to The Global Times.
Local officials have expressed their “deep condolences” and sympathy to the victim’s family.
The couple, who were both born in 1986, are said to have had a son and a daughter together.
Social media users have called for stricter regulation in the industry.
Authorities have launched an investigation into how Sun performed without the proper safety precautions.
Reports say the performance took place at a local family farm in Hougao, a village in Suzhou, located in the northern part of Anhui Province.
She had worked with her husband, Zhang Moumou for years, according to reports.
They are said to have often performed without safety belts, according to the news website The Paper.
Zhang told local news that she had not “refused” to wear a safety line, as reported.
In September last year, a trapeze artist fell into the circus ring during a new act in front of hundreds of children and their parents.
Tatyana Zolotukhina, 26, was performing with her husband Sergey Zolotukhin, 34, when she failed to catch his hand and plunged 16ft crashing on the ground during a show in Russia.
In July 2018, the America’s Got Talent judges were left gasping in horror as a trapeze act on the show went horribly wrong.
The panel were stunned when partially-sighted performer Tyce dropped his wife Mary and she plunged to the ground.

TikTok Mulls Splitting From ByteDance If Proposal With US Fails
CFIUS has stalled in its process, leaving TikTok unsure of whether its plans will be sufficient to continue operating in the country, according to the report. Members of CFIUS from the Justice Department have been unwilling to accept TikTok’s proposal, it added. CFIUS, a powerful national security body, had in 2020 unanimously recommended that ByteDance divest TikTok because of fears that user data could be passed on to China’s government.
