Excellent correction. It would have been better still if the mistake in the question had been corrected during the actual interview. Important for everyone to know it is Norway not the UK Government that is paying ยฃ20billion for warships to be built on the Clyde.

Two Tories - one red, one blue. Basically in agreement. You did really well but should have been given more time as there were two of them.

#Starmer is Incredibly weak. Arse kissing a #fascist, misogynistic, adjudicated rapist & felon #Trump, for what reason??

The best trade deal we'll EVER have is right here on our doorstep. We need to #RejoinEU asap, and vote out any party or politician that keeps us in the failure that is #Brexit.

UCU stands with trans people, today and every day.

The Supreme Court ruling is not just wrong, itโ€™s dangerous.

We will never stop fighting for trans rights and equality.

The Supreme Court sided with FWS.

But it didnโ€™t hear from a single trans person.
This ruling sets a dangerous precedent and erases trans women from protections. It puts trans rights back 20 years.

Opposition to Trident is the bellwether for any party serious about Scottish independence.

The only truly sovereign Scotland is a nuclear-free Scotland.

In the 80 years since 1945, Scotland has endured 22 UK General Elections at Westminster, leading to UK Governments for:

12 Tory
12 Prime Ministers

10 Labour
6 Prime Ministers

Only ONCE did Scotlandโ€™s vote decide the outcome (Labour).

It's England that decides who runs the Union.

After months of collective punishment and the death of over 40,000 in Gaza, any suggestion Palestinians should be removed from their home is unacceptable and dangerous.

There must be no ethnic cleansing.

Only a proper two state solution will bring lasting peace.

The Scottish Parliament has just voted to pass the SNP Government's budget at stage one.

Our budget includes a record ยฃ21 billion for the NHS and scraps Labour's two-child cap.

The only parties not to vote for these policies were Labour and the Tories.

While Labour and Tories refused to vote for it, weโ€™re working to deliver progress.

Starmer HUMILIATED By His Own Staff - Who BOAST He Isn't Really In Charge
YouTube video by Owen Jones Starmer HUMILIATED By His Own Staff - Who BOAST He Isn't Really In Charge

Keir Starmer isn't a leader.

He's the front man for a faction who think he's useless, and who themselves have no meaningful vision of any description.
