Memorable only for the Speaker being unable to pronounce Lochaber. How long has he been in the job now, introducing Blackford every week?

To be fair, he did pull up Boris on the use of Scottish “Nationalist” Party. It took him long enough though.

To George Monbiot...

Im a big fan of his, especially on the environment. If he had his way, lynx wolves and aurochs would be wandering about the Scottish Highlands, all the sheep farms would be turned into rewilding projects. Would be a lot more fun but not a popular view with the farming community (I wonder if the NFU, a lobbying arm for the UKs large landowners, are anything to do with Monbiot not being allowed on BBC question time for 20 years, a longer drought than Nick Griffin, Katie Hopkins, disgraced jailbird Johnathan Aitken and all those rentagob trolls of the extreme right the BBC seem to be happy to give airtime to?

Monbiot isn’t even really of ‘the left’ ideologically, he just challenges positions of power.

He's given much greater profile to rewilding than it would otherwise have had. Politically he's literally been all over the place as you say. Can't forgive him for advocating voting for the Lib-Dems in 2010, one of a number of factors which opened the door to Cameron as PM and subsequently the Brexit referendum.

Was he behind the Guardian temporarily switching to support the Lib-Dems?





I remember them doing that at the time and found it a bit strange.

Not sure he was 'behind' that but he certainly publicly supported voting for the Lib-Dems. Reading the piece he put his name to in the guardian along with others is eye-popping when you consider the actual consequences of putting those charlatans into government. Two paras leap out for me:


"The MPs that assemble in Westminster next month could usher in one of the great reforming parliaments in British history, one to rank in the history books alongside 1831-32, 1865-67 or 1911-1914. The next parliament could see cherished progressive liberal aspirations realised: a proportional electoral system; wider and better-defended civil liberties; a new, internationalist approach to foreign affairs and immigration; reform of the tax system to share wealth and curb carbon emissions; and an assault on the vested interests of the financial sector."

and

"The Liberal Democrats are today's change-makers. They have already changed the election; next they could drive fundamental change in our political and economic landscape."

**** me some people shouldn't be allowed anywhere near political judgement.




This is an extraordinary political moment. An election seemingly destined to produce a narrow Conservative victory has been seized by the voters and turned into a democratic contest – a contest not just between parties, but over the shape of our democracy itself.

The question for progressive liberals is what election result now offers the best chance of achieving these goals. Certainly not a Conservative majority. Despite some welcome commitments in areas such as civil liberties and localism, the Tories remain instinctively opposed to the deep democratic reforms the country needs.
But a return of a majority Labour government under Gordon Brown would not provide a strong enough guarantee of reform. Labour has a long list of achievements over the last 13 years, of which it can be proud. But Labour has also presided over a ruinous period for civil liberties and has failed to deliver wholesale political reform.
Labour does now promise fixed-term parliaments, an elected House of Lords and a referendum on the alternative vote: too little, too late.
The question is where the energy for the future of progressive politics is to be found. It is a contemporary political fact that the stronger the performance of the Liberal Democrats on 6 May the better the chances of progressive reform.
The Liberal Democrats are today's change-makers. They have already changed the election; next they could drive fundamental change in our political and economic landscape.
Some of us have already pinned our colours to the Liberal Democrat mast. For others, the decision to back the Liberal Democrats in this election is a difficult one. Long-standing party loyalties, even in a less tribal world, are not easily suspended. But May 2010 offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshape politics for the better. It must be seized.

There is every reason to reintroduce lynx as they are the main predator of destructive red deer. Sheep are unlikely to be grazing where red deer will be, and if sheep farmers keep a couple of alpaca or llama as 'guard dogs' predation will be minimal and a compensation scheme would help.

We do get the occasional glimpse of the prime minister, who was wheeled out this week for a visit to Derby, where we were given yet another opportunity to see Boris Johnson dressed up in a white coat. I think he’s supposed to appear medical and scientific, but only ever succeeds in looking like he’s got a lovely bit of pork cheek he can do you for £3.50.

A decent insight from a Scottish born Tory on how Scottish Tories see their fellow Scots. It might only be meant as humour but it explains a lot about their self-loathing.

No, it really doesn’t. Tory philosophy sees other people through the prism of privilege, class and wealth. You can be any race, creed or colour you like as long as you are for the few and not the many, whether you’re from Cardiff, Crewe or Cockenzie.

Michael Gove’s **** ‘comedy’ from the 1990s tells us as much about how Scottish Tories see other Scots as a 90s SNP MP suggesting blowing up water pipelines tells us about the SNPs approach to parliamentary democracy - ie none.

Yes, I agree. Lots to commend it; the huge potential value of eco tourism compared to the loss making sheep economy propped up by subsidy. The absence of evidence of lynx or wolf attacks on humans, not being able to plant all the trees that are necessary to offset our carbon because deer numbers are at plague level and they munch the saplings before they have a chance to grow. As with all these things, it comes down to land ownership and political will. The biggest landowners in Scotland seem wedded to grouse beating and deer stalking as a rural economic solution. Personally I’d CPO the lot, but that’s just me being a Stalinist.

Yes it really does, nothing is more important to the Scottish Tories than their precious Union that enables them to be Northern British before actually doing that what is best for Scotland. The amount of times they've bowed down to party central in Westminster to the detriment of Scotland is nauseating and you know it. They're now even asking voters to vote for parties that oppose everything they stand for if it can stop the electorate in Scotland having a meaningful vote on the constitutional status quo after having major constitutional change since the last referendum.

[Northernhibee]

If Michael Gove is already criticising the state of Brexit, do we take that as a start to his leadership challenge? Blame it on Boris and get in there? "There would have been no downsides to Brexit if I was in charge, vote for me as leader" and we end up back to Brexit being able to be sold as different things to different people?

Dominic Cummings was instrumental in the process of awarding a government contract without tender to a company run by his “friends”, according to court documents that raise questions about whether the Cabinet Office may have misled the public.
