again, do you, douglas ross, independent—minded douglas ross, agree with borisjohnson?nister when he said he was to get a deal... no, i'm not asking you. would a no deal be a good outcome for the uk? there are certainly opportunities as we are able to trade freely as an independent nation and we can ensure that trade deals are good for scotland and the whole of the uk... would it be a good outcome for the uk? i'm saying, all the efforts of the uk government continue rightly to be on getting a deal, but the prime minister is absolutely correct to say unless we can reach that by the european council on 0ctober15, then we have to prepare for all eventualities, and if we leave without a deal then there are opportunities for scotland and the rest of the united kingdom, for example, in the fishing industry, where we can free ourselves from the heated common fisheries policy which has dragged down that industry for the last 15 years. you look forward to telling the scottish fishermen that in a no—deal post—transition their fish will have huge tariffs placed upon them as they e

the snp saw a powergrab and had a dig at the new scottish tory leader, douglas ross, a part time footballvernment with no regard nor will to work with devolution. it a barefaced power grab. the scottish tory leader has already boasted that he will vote for this bill tonight. at his otherjob, he runs the line, in thisjob, he crosses the line. the dup said their own warnings about the brexit divorce deal had come true. if this bill is an attempt to try and undo some of the damage which was done by the withdrawal agreement and to respond to the points which arlene foster and other ministers have pressed the government to address, then we welcome it. 0thers wondered why they were talking about brexit. i have to say, if any of my constituents are watching this afternoon, i think they will be wondering what on earth is going on? why, they will ask, are mps banging on about brexit again? isn't that what the general election last december was meant to end? surely, it's not surprising with the transition period about to come to an end, that these debates will come back to this house. and isn't it

douglas cater reporter magazine, ross go drummond, the tribune. as you probably notice, for reporters including a newspaper man in a mixing reporter, these two were presented by the press secretary's. the rules for this evening have been agreed upon by the representatives of both candidates in radio and television networks. there will be no opening statement by the candidates nor any closing summation. the entire hour will be devoted to answering questions from the reporters. each candidate, to the question in turn with opportunity to comment on the other. each answer will be limited to two and one half minutes, each comment to one and a half minutes. the reporters are free to ask any question they choose on any subject. neither candidate knows what question will be asked. time alone will be certain and deterrence of who will be asked the final question. the first question is from mr. mcguinness but president -- senator kennedy >> yesterday you use the words trigger-happy in referring to richard nixon's stand. last week on a program like this one,

ross perot? he seems to have followed the mantra of william jennings brian, harry s. truman, the buck stops here. >> douglas brinkley has written a biography about teddy roosevelt. you'll take that question. >> when i got to talk to mr. perot he has two evergreen , heroes and it's theodore roosevelt and winston churchill. and he takes a lot from them. we forget now that both of them were considered in t.r.'s case a damn cowboy when roosevelt became president, he was just -- mckinley was assassinated. and the republican party of mark hanna and the old mckinley machine didn't trust t.r. he was considered an iconoclast and individualist and the cowboy notion. ross perot grew up in texas, and his father was a cotton broker. but he also broke horses, went to cattle auctions, considered himself a bit of a texas cowboy. and everything about theodore roosevelt is impressed in ross and i think gave him courage, if t.r. can do a bull moose party, why can't i run in 1992? and churchill, it goes without saying, anybody who loves grit, winston churchill is your figure and the two people he admires most. in his office a
