The leadership stakes

As the runners go to the post in the leadership race, Alex Salmond interviews top Tory pundit Peter Oborne, who provides the inside information on the hopefuls in the contest to determine the next UK prime minister. With next week’s great racing event of Royal Ascot in mind, the show assesses who are the ‘also rans’ and who is most likely to win the race to No. 10 Downing Street.

Former First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond hosts a new political chat program, ‘The Alex Salmond Show’, on RT, where he vows to battle the mainstream media narrative and take the news “out of the Westminster nexus.” ‘The Alex Salmond Show’ will take viewers inside the Welsh, Irish and Scottish parliaments, also looking at the government of Northern Ireland, not forgetting Westminster.
