A long time ago. The odds are pretty much Evens on both but can’t see how Labour have a chance unless a far right party come in again and split the vote. It’ll be a shame if yet another Johnson lemming is parachuted in to give these sex cases even more power. Think the timing is ideal for them too.

For what it’s worth, the bloke supposedly being put forward by Labour is an ex-MP and doctor.

From the photo, I genuinely thought it was Eddie Izzard.
 
It said "Live from Westminster", so I assume it was a parliamentary or government office, acquired for the broadcast.

Much more worried about the mostly/ entirely Tory politicians who have flags in their home behind them in their zoom calls

(Those who actually read what I say, will know this is hypocrisy, as I did an important podcast with a QPR playoff in the background) DOH!

What's wrong with a member of the government, of any political leaning, having a Union Jack Flag in the background?

Absolutely nothing...and as you can read on and see Col. I seem to do mine with a QPR playoff flag in the background..

Put your colours in the zoom feed, and I let everyone know what a proud supporter I am...wish Michael Gove would do the same thing

But you said it was "much more worrying".
Why?
 
Unsurprisingly not a peep about this on BBC, Sky etc as has been the case through most of this process. As opposition party's have said SNP seem bulletproof in the media compared to others a few weeks before elections...

Prime time tv slot, 8pm, on BBC Scotland tonight...

Panorama, Salmond v Sturgeon: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000tgzn via @bbciplayer

The inside story of the most sensational break-up in recent political history. Once close friends and allies, Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon took the SNP from nowhere to government, and Scotland to the brink of independence. Now sworn enemies, former first minister Salmond accuses some of those he once led of plotting to have him imprisoned. Reporter Mark Daly investigates and asks what the split could mean for the future of Scotland and of the United Kingdom
