Ce mercredi, la tentative de coup contre Corbyn s’éteindra : le rapport Chicot sortira enfin (encore un truc qui, selon Google News, n’intéresse pas les médias français), et l’« aile droite » du parti travailliste repassera en mode « damage control ».

A senior policy official in the Labour Party has told The Canary that the decision to challenge Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership was planned by a core group in the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP), almost as soon as he won his landslide victory in September 2015.
Alex Salmond: The coup against Corbyn was planned to stop him calling for Blair’s head after Chilcot (From Herald Scotland)

I had a conversation on exactly this point with veteran Labour firebrand Dennis Skinner. He answered in one word “Iraq”. The Skinner line is that the coup was timed to avoid Corbyn calling for Blair’s head next Wednesday from the Despatch Box. Indeed many would say that when Corbyn stated that he would be prepared to see a former Labour Prime Minister tried for War Crimes then he sealed his fate as leader of the Parliamentary Labour Party.
Tony Blair faces calls for impeachment on release of Chilcot report

Senior figures from Labour and the Scottish National party are considering calls for legal action against Tony Blair if the former prime minister faces severe criticisms from the long-awaited inquiry into the war in Iraq.
A number of MPs led by Alex Salmond are expected to use an ancient law to try to impeach the former prime minister when the Chilcot report comes out on Wednesday.

Scotland’s pro-independence party scores big gains in vote - The Washington Post
▻https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/scotlands-pro-independence-party-scores-big-gains-in-vote/2016/05/06/5d8ebf3c-134a-11e6-a9b5-bf703a5a7191_story.html
The pro-independence Scottish National Party Friday secured a third term in government with an historic third consecutive victory in the county’s parliamentary elections.
With 92 out of 129 seats declared, the SNP had secured 58 compared to the Conservatives with 15, Labour with 11, Liberal-Democrats with four, and four for the Green Party.
However, despite their extraordinary performance the SNP could still fail to win enough seats to form an outright majority and may have to enter into a coalition government with the pro-independence Green Party.
SNP Party Leader Nicola Sturgeon called the results “historic.”
“There are many results still to be declared but what is now beyond doubt is that the SNP has won a third consecutive Scottish Parliament election. That has never been done before in the history of the Scottish Parliament. We have tonight made history,” she said.

The Conservatives have won 331 seats, securing a parliamentary majority after all 650 constituencies declared. They have made a net gain of 24 seats and their share of the vote increased by 0.8%.
Labour have seen their share of the vote increase more than the Conservatives, up 1.5% but they have made a net loss of 26 seats, mainly due to the advances made by the Scottish National Party.

Voulez-vous être indépendant ?
– Non.
Vous avez pourtant la liberté de choisir l’indépendance...
– Non, merci.
Voilà en quelques lignes l’histoire du référendum sur l’indépendance de l’Ecosse, qui s’est soldé ce matin par un libre choix de rester dans le Royaume Uni.
Pourquoi est-ce habilement joué de la part du gouvernement britannique et de son premier Ministre James Cameron ? Tout simplement parce qu’en laissant à quelqu’un le choix de faire ou de ne pas faire ce qu’on attend de lui, on augmente les chances qu’il fasse... ce qu’on attend de lui. C’est ce que les psychologues (notamment Robert-Vincent Joule et Jean-Léon Beauvois, aujourd’hui réputés pour leurs travaux sur la théorie de l’engagement) appellent la soumission librement consentie.

En apparence, le Scottish National Party (SNP, Parti national écossais) affiche son engagement dans les énergies renouvelables. Dans le clip de campagne qui accueille les visiteurs de son site, un joggeur sue au ralenti dans les vallées des Highlands, expirant au rythme des pales des éoliennes géantes. Après avoir énuméré le potentiel d’électricité « verte », le commentaire ajoute négligemment « oil is a bonus », autrement dit « le pétrole est juste un bonus ».
Mais dans la bouche du leader du SNP et Premier ministre écossais, Alex Salmond, le pétrole est bien plus que ça : « Je pense que nous devrions développer nos ressources naturelles à leur plein potentiel, déclarait-il lundi 15 dans le Scottish Herald. Et nous devrions aussi développer des méthodes pour capturer le dioxyde de carbone pour le stocker sous les aquifères marins. »
