📚Absolutely delighted to receive the new edition of my book “Churchill: The Scottish Years”.

📖 It’s got a swanky new cover, title and an updated afterword - so there’s no excuse not to buy it!

I would love to hear from the architects of the national service plan about their own experiences volunteering. There’s no better way to make the case for that sort of thing – I think it could open a lot of minds.

A complete absence of insight dressed up as meaningful analysis. Yes, it's all very funny, but it's also a huge waste of time.

Late nights. Early mornings. Twenty months of effort have led to this moment.

On 15th June, we will be unveiling the new branding, refurbishment designs and fundraising plans for The Belmont Cinema.

Aberdeen deserves the best - and we can make it happen.

Tories back national service for 18-year-olds to ‘promote integration of those from different backgrounds’, while simultaneously being in favour of tax breaks for private schools.

There's also a cosmic irony in pontificating about 'social mixing' for teenagers while also campaigning to preserve tax breaks for private schools.

Absolutely but let's not lose sight of the fact that is also mental. They're not criminals. The state doesn't get to dictate what adults do with their own free time.

Rishi Sunak’s plan for compulsory national service is the most insane policy proposal ever launched in an election campaign by a major political party.

Sunak wants young people to be forced to study maths until 18, then force them
Into national service.

I’m not surprised he doesn’t back votes at 16.

ories announcing mandatory national service shows they are finished.

Pressing the ‘in case of emergency break glass’ Dad’s Army button.

Aimed at appealing to some within a generation which points to national service as a cure for society’s ills, but who have never done it.
