The christmas election

With the UK now set for the first winter general election since February 1974, The Alex Salmond Show summons a panel of political commenters to forecast the likely course of the coming campaigns. In the blue corner, Born-Again Remainer Peter Oborne crosses swords with the yellow corner’s Born-Again Brexiteer, Lembit Opik – while, in the tartan corner, historian Michael Fry places this Christmas poll in its historic context.

The christmas election
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.
