The Liberal Democrat leadership race

The Liberal Democrat leadership race is taking place against the backdrop of the pandemic, with the party in hard times after three bruising general elections in quick succession. Former leader Sir Vince Cable is calling for a fresh party strategy of being complementary rather than competitive with the new Labour leadership, while former Lib Dem MP Lembit Opik favors change candidate Layla Moran over the bookies’ favorite Sir Ed Davey.

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.
