The battle for the parliamentary seat vacated by former House of Commons speaker Michael Martin could hand the British National Party its first major breakthrough in Scotland, it was claimed yesterday.
Parliamentary by-elections tend to result in a few stunts, but none so embarrassing as the purile stunt by SNP candidate, the rather arrogant David Kerr, in flinging a £2 coin towards the Labour candidate on Thursday night’s “Politics Now” on STV. I was away Thursday evening so only saw the programme this afternoon. Whilst the other main party candidates acquitted themselves...
The Moose is preparing for another sales trip to Scotland. My youngest is preparing a road trip CD, Ecosse desert Island Discs. I will be visiting Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Perth and Sterling and will let you know what new writers are causing a stir north of the border. There has been a notable backlash to celebrity novels in the wake of Martine McCutcheon's burgeoning literary career. I haven't...
Is Scottish star Gerard Butler ready to trade in bachelorhood for family life? The still-single actor will be turning 40 next week and admits the milestone sometimes has him thinking about settling down. "Right now, yes, I question a bunch of things in my life and I am in a lot of ways more comfortable than ever..." he tells Scotland's The Daily Record . "Sometimes I think, 'God, I...
The decision of the voters in Glasgow North East will have long lasting implications for the cause of Scottish independence. Glasgow can do better than Labour's Baron Springburn and the SNP deserve their chance to represent the constituency at the UK parliament. Scotland's party puts Scotland first and a vision of a free and independent country is a lot bettter than sticking with failed bankrupt
Opus Dei though the SNP candidate may be (heaven knows how that happened, the SNP is ferociously anti-Catholic and the compliment is returned with interest), the message is clear: the Glasgow North-East by-election impends, but the death of Al-Megrahi does not. Oh, and no one in favour of Scottish independence, never mind anyone who isn't, now has the slightest reason to vote for the SNP, which has...
David Doherty is the Green candidate for the Glasgow NE by-election. He was interviewed on Thursday night by Gordon Brewer. The interview was rather a rushed affair, but for a young man of 24, I think Mr Doherty did rather well. It was obvious he had done his revision and was nervous, but he didn't allow Gordon Brewer interruptions to put him off message. The one criticism I would give is that he...
The Scottish Liberal Democrats candidate for the Glasgow North East by-election candidate, Eileen Baxendale has had a busy week with visits in Glasgow North East with Leader Tavish Scott, Shadow Secretary of State for Scotland Alistair Carmichael and yesterday former UK Leader, Charles Kennedy MP. Eileen Baxendale hasn't taken a day off since she was selected to fight the seat made vacant over 120...
Chekov of the blog Three Thousand Versts of Loneliness recently appeared on Northern Visions ' Blogtalk show, and came across as a highly articulate and thoughtful man. But in his blog he seems to put that thoughtfulness to use primarily to churn out shameless partisan propaganda like the best of us. His latest post on the Glasgow NE by-election reads almost like a parody. The candidates are all a...

According to a recent study by the University of Glasgow in Scotland, the more children a couple have, the happier they are. The catch? This only holds true for married couples. The same children and happiness correlation didn't apply to single, co-habiting or separated parents. The study took into ...
....David Kerr candidate for Glgasow North East, John Mason MP for Glasgow East and Stewart Hosie SNP Tresury Spokesman. Yeah, Tam Smith SNP PPC for Linlithgow and Falkirk East is back at his Rory Bremner act, this time taking on all three without crediting any. Today he is saying : "Scotland's banking workers deserves more than a direct line to the breadline. These reforms must not jeapordise...
Starting us off on Friday evening with the latest from the Metropolitan Police concerning the attack on our two MEPs in Westminster. As I have said before, sooner or later if the police continue to turn a blind eye to this behaviour somebody is going to get hurt. They have every opportunity to nip this in the bud now with evidence of dozens of people involved in a premeditated riot. There's plenty...
