Nicola Sturgeon: “But if you believe that, you cannot say to the people of Scotland that you never ever again have the chance to consider…”

My aim, to put it bluntly, is to close the attainment gap completely. It will not be done overnight, I accept that. But it must be done.

I think it's right that they're opening up the Brexit question again and I hope Andy Burnham nails his colours to the mast of rejoining the EU. But you can't pick and choose when democracy applies.

I think this [Wargame] shines a light on the threadbare nature of the UK’s conventional defences.

I hope this show is entertaining, but I hope it sparks a debate about whether the country is properly prepared.
