It is, of course, only one side of a story which is, first and foremost, about family tensions. The Royal Family must now decide whether the traditional response - getting on with their duties which defy the caricature whilst saying nothing in public - is enough.
Nick Robinson Mon 08 Mar 2021 08:22

Some dismiss it as a trivial Royal soap opera unworthy of the attention on serious news programmes. Yet Meghan & Harry have given young & diverse Britain all they need to see the Royal Family (tho’ not the Queen) as at best old fashioned & at worst bigoted. That really matters.

Wonder if tomorrow’s front pages will unnerve No10. @RishiSunak levelled with the country about future tax rises. Not so much about future spending curbs which the @OBR_UK & @TheIFS are sceptical can be delivered. https://t.co/yDtWwzREfR

The Budget promises to keep spending for another 2 years & then start taxing for 2 years after that. I wonder why people are begining to talk about an election in 2023 ?

Allows him to say to Labour “which tax would you raise instead?” And to the Tory right “what would you cut instead?”

Income tax thresholds frozen for 5 years until April 2026: so even as rates unchanged more people sucked into paying higher taxes Corporation Tax on company profits rise from 19% to 25% in 2023 but with big tax break for investment
Nick Robinson Wed 03 Mar 2021 13:17

“I recognise they might not be popular but they are honest” @RishiSunak says as he confirms income & corporation tax rises. Politics is clear - try to retain Tory reputation for "sound money" & limit Labour's options so they can only raise £bns by hiking personal tax rates

“We’re going long” the Chancellor says as he extends support for businesses & benefits until Sept but that cliff edge will come all too soon for those whose businesses or jobs have already been destroyed & as those lucky enough to have secure jobs enjoy a K shaped recovery

“It may very well be the case that I didn’t get everything right” @NicolaSturgeon tells the @AlexSalmond inquiry but she defends her actions by arguing that her old friend & ally was angry that she refused to “follow the age old pattern of a powerful man getting what he wanted”

At stake is not just the future of Scotland’s First Minister & who leads the campaign for independence. What is also under scrutiny is the behaviour of Scotland’s government, parliament & legal system and the balance of power between them
Nick Robinson Thu 25 Feb 2021 08:51

The two leading figures in the drive for Scottish independence had already fallen out about how to secure that prize & how to respond to Boris Johnson’s refusal to agree to another referendum.

Sturgeon claims that her old mentor is angry because she "did not collude with him" to make the sexual harassment allegations "go away". She says he has provided no evidence of a conspiracy against him.

Salmond accuses Sturgeon, her husband – who is also Chief Executive of the SNP - & her chief of staff - of conspiring to fabricate & exaggerate the allegations of sexual misconduct against him
Nick Robinson Thu 25 Feb 2021 08:51

In court Salmond was cleared of 13 charges of sexually harassing women who worked for him. However, he did admit to inappropriate behaviour - touching, kissing and cuddling women who were on his staff late at night when he was drunk.
Nick Robinson Thu 25 Feb 2021 08:51

Alex Salmond (ex First Minister & face of YES in the 2014 referendum) is accusing Nicola Sturgeon (FM now & the other face of YES) – of misleading Parliament & misusing the power of govt to frustrate an enquiry into how allegations of sexual harassment were investigated
Nick Robinson Thu 25 Feb 2021 08:51

It is the story of the break up of a friendship between the two most powerful politicians in Scotland which could frustrate those who want to see the break up of the UK & the birth of an independent Scotland.

In case you find this story hard to follow & harder to care about here's a thread about what it's really about. This is a story about sex & power and the future of the United Kingdom
