David Lammy on Sky News:
“I spoke to the vice president yesterday, and I wanted to emphasise a number of things.
“The first is that our democratic process is working well. This young man has been convicted. There is an investigation into the police by the Independent Police [Conduct] Authority. There is an investigation into Hampshire Police by the inspectorate. The [Attorney General] is looking at the sentencing in relation to this. The national police chiefs are looking at the guidance in relation to this.
“The second thing was I disagree with him. This has got nothing to do with mass migration. This young man was a Brit. Let’s be clear about that. And I said, “Look, Mr Vice President, you’re wrong about this.
“And it’s also the case that actually murder is coming down in the United Kingdom. So we had an agreeable conversation. But we disagree.”
Former leader of the SNP in Westminster Ian Blackford told Times Radio why he believes Nicola Sturgeon’s claim that she spent no time in the kitchen and therefore didn’t see any of her husband’s purchases:
“She doesn’t have a passion for cooking.”
