Oct 20, 2021  | 
By Xander Richards
 |  The National (Scotland)
FARMERS have warned of “huge downsides” after Boris Johnson’s government announced it had agreed a trade deal with New Zealand. The Conservative government said the deal, agreed on Wednesday, would cut red tape for businesses and end tariffs on exports. But the National Farmers’ Union (NFU) said it would open the UK’s food market to significant imports with the nation’s producers receiving “almost nothing” in return.

GAS-GUZZLING heating systems are on the way out. Great news – or is it? Everyone’s agreed CO2-emitting gas boilers have to go – the current gas price hikes and supply crisis only add to the watertight case made for years by climate scientists. But being necessary doesn’t make the dash from gas any less scary for householders.

Westminster can no longer keep hiding behind its ridiculous ‘traditions’

Oct 20, 2021  |  The National (Scotland)
The murder of Sir David Amess can only, ever, be described as a despicable act of violence which cannot be justified with any argument. However, can it be understood? Is it possible to comprehend the thinking of an individual who experiences such a level of frustration, over an issue, that they believe to commit this hideous act will achieve a resolution? For myself, I abhor the Tory Party and I have a contempt for all those who represent it.

A POPULAR American writer has dared to lift the lid on what he says are the catastrophic consequences of Brexit, which have turned Britain into an “Orwellian society”, where nobody can talk about the subject.
