The election pantomime

As we approach the half way point in the UK’s Christmas election, the Alex Salmond Show summons back our celebrated panel of political pundits to analyze the campaign to date. In the blue corner, we have Peter Oborne, in the yellow, Lembit Opik, in the red, Professor Richard Murphy and from the tartan corner, Ruth Wishart.

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.
