Satire and cartoons are part of our political life and of course this can be edgy. However this crosses a line, it is offensive and does nothing to foster respectful debate. I am surprised by
@thetimes
who should both withdraw and apologise for this.

Goose bumps. These good folks are stepping into the extreme against an entrenched mafia. Gods smile on them.
20% of their country is occupied by russia and they're going to make damn sure the rest of Georgia will not fall to the Kremlin regime.

I despair at how some are approaching this leadership contest. We’ve seen far too much elevating of the personal over the political, and in doing so we all end up being dragged down. Have we learned nothing from last year - a contest at John Curtice said cost us up to 5%.

I know how big a privilege being First Minister is, but also the toll it can take. I also know what a wrench it is to step aside, even when sure it is the right thing to do.

This further cements Scotland’s reputation as a global leader in floating wind technology.
