THE object of the radio programme is for panellists to talk for one minute on a given subject without “hesitation, repetition or deviation”.
It’s therefore no surprise that Liz Truss has never appeared on the panel as “hesitation, repetition and deviation” are her modus operandi – especially deviation!

WAKING up to rain lashing the windows and seeing the CalMac ferry trying very hard to get alongside in Wemyss Bay (well done Captain). No solace or comfort hearing the gas boiler clicking on, just pounds up the chimney.
Thoughts of breakfast interrupted by the too sudden remembering of the last two days of financial mayhem and more to come. How, oh how I wish to turn the clock back to those wonderful golden days when Boris Johnson was prime minister.

SURELY UDI must be better than this chaos?

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
