we are different to the snp and labour.here in holyrood. so if you want something different, vote for the scottish conservatives. liberal democrats are growing again and my defining mission as leader is to give them a reason to vote for us and a candidate to vote for. green and snp voters don't - necessarily see eye to eye on things like how we regulate the oil and gas industry, how fast we can move - in that transition in response to the climate emergency. . people go to the polls here next thursday in a vote that will be closely watched for clues about what's going on in scottish politics and how it could help shape the next general election. nick eardley, bbc news, rutherglen. a teenage boy, arrested after this sycamore tree was felled on wednesday night, has been released on bail pending further police inquiries. meanwhile people who loved the iconic tree have been coming to visit the scene close to hadrian's wall in northumberland. alison freeman is there for us now. alison. yeah, over the past couple of hours we've be

the labour leader sir keir starmer went there today, hoping his party can win it back from the snp. 0urme the next general election. yes, there are lots of candidates standing here, but all of the focus is on the battle between labour and the scottish national party. are labour reviving in races for westminster seats in scotland? the contest has come about after the former mp, who was elected on an snp ticket, acknowledged that she had broken the covid rules by getting on a train from london to glasgow when she had covid, and when she knew she had covid. she has pleaded guilty to that but what has done for her politically is what is known as a recall petition, the first one in scotland, with folk here demanding a by—election. i was adhering to the covid rules. me and my partner couldn't see his dying grandmother, and they're out breaking rules. it's kind of like a slap in the face. to be honest, i'd be more than happy if margaret ferrier had stood again. in her circumstances, i would probably have done the same thing. i'd have wanted to bolt for home. if you've got the virus, stay in. d

but it does it does look like there could a bit of an snp. well, could be a bit of an snp.y're going to struggle. >> they're going to >> i think they're going to struggle. and i think as alastair just saying, alastair was just saying, they're necessarily they're not necessarily in freefall, but they have certainly raison certainly lost their raison d'etre, you like. and d'etre, if you like. and if they're not talking about independence and the danger is always that, then people look at their record on other things like and transport and like health and transport and education and funding where they haven't been so good. so i think under nicola sturgeon they managed create a very good managed to create a very good illusion of running things terribly well and being very effective and punching above their weight. i think when you take that leader away, what you see is actually nicola sturgeon was very good at deflecting from any of her failures. >> there , good at blaming >> there, good at blaming everything on westminster , everything on westminster, wrongly or rightly and ve

and yet the snp double rapist.ve with yes, it certainly became quite a contentious issue and you're right to say that it was rebellion. >> and with a number of myself and a number of colleagues, both in my party, but there are also colleagues who rebelled in other parties across the scottish parliament well. i think this parliament as well. i think this did particularly crystallise in the mind of the public around about the time of the case as you rightly say, of isla bryson. i think this has brought home very much to the public that someone could be a double convicted rapist , could decide convicted rapist, could decide that they wanted to self identify as a woman and then end up being transferred into the women's prison estate and we should also remember that many of the women who are in the female prison estates have suffered trauma. many of them have had head injuries , for have had head injuries, for instance, from domestic abuse. and so putting these vulnerable women in that sort of situation, i don't think t

but the scandal the failing snp. but the scandal fidden the failing snp.d drug consumption rooms, where users can get high, aided by the state. scotland's chief law officer, lord advocate dorothy bain, kc, said it would not be in the public interest to punish users of the rooms for possession offences and they could now appear in glasgow in just a matter of weeks . the home just a matter of weeks. the home office has already rejected the idea, but studies suggest the rooms can reduce deaths. however there i say to hell with that. anything but a zero tolerance policy on drugs will turn scotland . and it's already scotland. and it's already heading this way. by the way , heading this way. by the way, into some sort of lawless hellhole like san francisco, which is quickly become the drugs and homeless capital of america. so my senior producer, ben leo, reached took a trip to the famous tenderloin district to see how socialist drug policies like the ones proposed to be introduced by the snp have wrecked the once cherished . city wrecked the once cherished. cit

it was quite interesting as well that the snp leader had as well that the snp leader had a both labourt of trouble at the moment are very, moment and they are very, very worried about the labour resurgence in scotland, particularly in light of the rutherglen by—election next month. so it was the snp that was really the winner for me there. otherwise all a little bit flat. what not what you're expecting one year out from a general election. yeah >> and could it be that labour couldn't go in the line couldn't go in the attack line on triple because of what on triple lock because of what angela leader angela rayner, the deputy leader , reporters up liverpool , said to reporters up liverpool , indicating that labour weren't exactly to it . exactly wedded to it. >> well, yeah, exactly . >> well, yeah, exactly. >> well, yeah, exactly. >> i think that was the problem for labour. >> keir starmer couldn't really go too in hard given what his deputy had said. generally we've seen labour quite a lot, refusing to go down too hard on tory policies because at this point labour really is the governme

it shows the coffin of the snp. is now so under investigation through nicola sturgeon and the whole police investigate action, they really are tainted and i'm sure the great scottish people will see that as another reason not to vote for the snp because in the end the royal family embraces their values much more than the snp does . than the snp does. >> very good point. very well put . tom bower, thank you so put. tom bower, thank you so much. we will speak next week, but it's time now to reveal tonight's greatest britain union. has my superstar union. jack has my superstar panel return . esther mcvey, who panel return. esther mcvey, who is your nominee ? is your nominee? >> right. my great britain is rishi sunak this week for an outbreak in common sense that he stopped that ridiculous net zero timetable. hopefully he's to going stop hs2. and of course , going stop hs2. and of course, he's being feted by the public. the polls have gone up by 5. yes you've still got a long way to 90, you've still got a long way to go

well, joining discuss joining us now to discuss this is snp glasgow city is former snp glasgow city councillorch for joining us. the snp seem to have turned scotland and your home city of glasgow in particular into the drug capital of europe . why is that? is that how you see it there as well? well as you pointed out, drug legislation is aslef to westminster. >> it's not devolved into the scottish parliament and would love to see those powers devolved to scotland's parliament because this is about how we approach dealing with the with the drug death crisis that we have in scotland. do we treat it as a criminal issue or do we acknowledge it as a health issue and personal speaking? i believe it is a health issue and having safe consumption rooms. i mean, the clue is in the words safe and means that it will be safer for people to consume drugs and to ensure that an overdose, but also safer for the public as well, to ensure that things like needles, etcetera, aren't to going be, you know, on our streets. there's wider streets. so there's wider benefit . and to having safe benefit. and to having sa

every year the snp scottish government mitigates against the cruelest of the westminster policies bynding 84 million pounds supporting hard-working families against the brutal bedroom tax and over 6.2 million pounds for the two childhood benefit account. astonishing we have -- the leader of thehe opposition is an enthusiastic support of these tory cruel welfare policies with you to could after you turn m the labour party. so given that the tories and labour our cheeks of the same offering novation, no hope, hope, does the prime minister agree that the only way to scottish -- >> order. let's think about language. let's be more temperate. let's make sure that this parliament -- can be the pride will shine through. we will so be not be using language. >> how could you change the offending -- ? given the tories are made from two cheeks of the same bottom offering no change does a prime minister agree that the only way for scottish voters to rid themselves of these policies is to vote snp to leave westminster forever? >> mr. speaker, obviously not but it think the crux of the? was correct

that is obviously a claim that is contested by the snp and unsurprisingly by the green party.eresting is they are really trying to put the pressure here onto labour and they say if labour were to turn around now and say in government they would revoke this license, that would make the project simply unviable, so they want the labour party to be taking a much stronger position. that is not something we are seeing from the labour party today. their position is they would not allow new oil and gas licenses if they were to get into government but they will not be revoking this one either. that is because they're big focus is on stability and providing businesses with some certainty. they say that is what the country needs and stopping this would go against the pledge that they would be credible if they were to get into government. we have the liberal democrats who have previously said they are against this develop but they actually hold the seat in shetland and their reaction has also been quite muted today, they have not particularly said anything.- particularly said anything. mi
