I WATCHED both of the ITV programmes on Tuesday evening and Nicola Sturgeon came across as the only one on either that is prime ministerial material. She gave clear, direct responses to questions on SNP policies and objectives.
Boris Johnson – one slogan, no policies – spent his time attacking Jeremy Corbyn and Nicola Sturgeon.
Jeremy Corbyn, as always, was a sitting target on the fence. Why does he not tell the Tories he would enter into a coalition with any party that would keep Johnson out of Number 10, in order to save the NHS?

Jo Swinson spoke of pressing the nuclear button.
Nigel Farage is Donald Trump’s remote control for Boris Johnson and the Tory party.
Sian Berry has plenty of green policies but no concept of the amount of green stuff that would be needed to pay for it or the impracticality of a ten-year time scale to implement these policies.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
