Danny Alexander and Alistair Carmichael go #indyref myth busting

SNP try to airbrush the trouble out of paradise – but they can’t argue with the evidence

Trouble in paradise…SNP MEP says leadership should admit they made a mistake over independent Scotland’s EU membership
So we’ve had the first real sign of jitters within the SNP ranks tonight. Up until now, they’ve been as tight as anything, united against everyone else as they pursue their lifelong goals. In fact, I suspect there might have … Continue reading

Alistair Carmichael as you have probably never seen him before…
Do you know what, this independence referendum is actually starting to have some nice moments. I would never have thought it. Sadly, few of them are to do with the actual substance of the campaign, but there’s always hope. One … Continue reading
My take on Nick v Nigel Round 2
Stephen Tall has given his view on last night’s Debate over at Liberal Democrat Voice I broadly agree with Stephen. Let me get two things that annoy the hell out of me off my chest first, though. Nigel Farage was … Continue reading
