Is there a list of mandatory literature for schools in the United Kingdom?
Hello! I'm a student from Lithuania and I'm doing research on the topic of mandatory literature in schools.
I would like to know whether you have such a list and if there any problems related to accessing the literature? For example: are there any sources of accessing the books online in audiobook format?

Given the Conservative win in the United Kingdom, do you think this could lead to the Independence of Scotland and Reunification of Ireland?
This idea is largely based on:
- Scotland voted in its entirety the National Scottish Party bar 1 Labour and 3? Conservatives.
- Brexit was a 67% against vote in Scotland
- Then also considering that Northern Ireland voted for other parties, no Conservative seats.
So, do you think the basis for 2 referendums that will see the end of the United Kingdom?

In the event of a United Ireland, would the United Kingdom still be called the United Kingdom?
I've heard conflicting answers about this. Some claim that the United Kingdom moniker, created after the Act of Union 1801, would only refer to the Union between Great Britain and Ireland, and subsequently Northern Ireland, and that before the AOU, it was just the 'Kingdom of Great Britain'. Others claim that the 'United' part refers to the Union between the crowns of Scotland and England, and thus it will remain. Most think that it would stay as The United Kingdom of Great Britain either way, simply because that is what the country is now known as.
TIL in the United Kingdom the BBC refused refused to play the song "The Cover of Rolling Stone" by Dr Hook, as it contained the name of a commercial publication (Rolling Stone magazine) and could therefore be considered advertising.

Worried that the United Kingdom's election spells the end for Bernie? Don't be. Conservatives in the UK are still to the left of our centrists.
The United Kingdom's government is already way to the left of the United States. They're so "far-left" that the modern day Republican Party would claim the Conservative Party is full of socialist radicals who want to turn the country into Venezuela.
Case in point, here are some of the current UK government programs.
✅ Universal healthcare
✅ Up to 39 weeks of paid maternity leave
✅ Up to 28 weeks paid vacation time by law
✅ The country does have some protections against massive student-loan debt
✅ Hasn't been waging an endless war in the Middle East
✅ Strict gun control
In reality Bernie's policies have already been victorious in the UK for decades now. The UK is a prime example of why Bernie can win.
ELI5: If Dagestan and Chechnya are part of Russia why are they called Republic of Dagestan and Chechen Republic? Are they technically countries in the same way that Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales are countries within the United Kingdom?
I see that they are called federal subjects to Russia but I'm not really sure what that means. I see that there are 20 other republics within Russia. Is their ability to operate more autonomously than other areas including krais and oblasts give them the title of "Republic" and do they operate similarly to countries within the United Kingdom?

Hypothetical situation/debate- In the next few years, Scotland gains independence. Northern Ireland joins Ireland and becomes part of a United Ireland. How does this affect the 'United' Kingdom?
Or rather the not so united anymore Kingdom of England and Wales.
Will Wales try pushing for an Indy ref? Or will they support the Union as they done for most of it's history (unlike Scotland)
And would this scenario push Westminister towards a 'English politics for England' kind of rule?
