Donald Trump breaks with convention, appearing on the first day and using

his wife that is keynote speaker. The nomination moves into the final

phase, but he has had to fight a last rearguard action. Meanwhile,

his wife is a cruised of plagiarism. That your word is your bond and you

do what you say. That your word is your bond, that you say you are --

that you do what you say you will. Will it get in that all-important

female vote? I think most women are like me. You have heard enough of it

through the years that you don't excuse it, and you don't embrace it,

but you push it aside. Also tonight: Argue supporting Jeremy Corbyn? Are

you interested in voting for Jeremy Corbyn?

It certainly feels like summer, but it is no summer of love

The campaign to topple Jeremy Corbyn is underway

I'm not convinced Owen Smith can win an election. Jeremy Corbyn

definitely can't. We will have to disagree.

And the great debate about handing over ARM Holdings to the Japanese.

We speak to the last man to sell a British technology

Good evening from Cleveland, Ohio, for the Republican convention has

been dominated by a row about plagiarism. Mrs Trump accused of

using parts of an old speech, recycling perhaps, that me Shell

Obama made some eight years ago to kick-off the convention as a keynote

last night. In some ways it is just a continuation of things that Mr

Trump has been accused of over the years, blasting his name and brand

onto a range of things he did not entirely create, is perhaps it has

-- perhaps it is that the speeches sound pretty much the same, whoever

wrote them and indeed whoever delivers them. But the words which

have, we understand, infuriated Trump, at least overshadowed a

last-ditch attempt to overturn the nomination and stop it going to him.

We headed to the convention for itself for a bit of the backbiting

and gossip which make up part of convention life here.

The convention normally signifies the high watermark of the

candidate's ascendancy, the moment when the great and the good of the

party of speeches and endorsements. This will be remembered not for who

came Butler who chose to stay away. Three former Republican nominees.

Who is talking? You will find out it is most of Mr Trump's family. It was

kicked off by his supermodel wife. First up, Melania Trump,

introduced by the man himself. All good, until a journalist spots

the similarities with a speech Michelle Obama had made,

some eight years ago. Whenever you have such an amazing

group of people, and the message they were bringing forward,

you've got to find something. They found something

with Melania's speech. I don't think it was plagiarism,

I think she spoke from her heart, and she is not the only woman

who has a child who is worried Many here saw the row

as confected conspiracy. Nevertheless, the blame game has

begun, with Trump said to be furious He has just doused the flames

of the last row, a vote on the floor by some delegates,

they say to change rules But others saw this as an 11th hour

plot to try to stop Trump by one There is still a contingent

of people that are clinging to power in the final hours,

in a desperate manner, trying to pull ridiculous floor

moves, saying it was about rules. Ted Cruz, and the

Never Trump people. Ken Kuching, Nellie from Virginia,

what they did is they attempted a ruse, a guise, a fraud,

and basically the biggest lie in this convention

is that this fight had Is this about the next

time round, then? No, we had things about getting rid

of lawyers on the RNC, things about taking away powers

from the chairman of the RNC, We put in changes to get at the most

outrageous things that Donald Trump rightfully complained

about in the nomination process, we put amendments in to change that,

and they were shot down by the RNC So, is the coup attempt properly

over? Watch what happens when I

asked the former Texas Oh, I think it's always,

it's democracy, this is what we do. Sometimes folks in other places

don't understand that's how democracy works,

but this is nothing out Is he rattled by what

he has heard today? Team Trump were putting a united

front on, his newly appointed running mate Mike Pence centrestage,

the man, rumour has it, Trump regretted the moment

he'd appointed him. So I caught up with the man long

expected to be Trump's running mate, Governor, are you feeling

confident about By the way, we're just next

in New Hampshire, it is over, buddy! Did they get the wrong

VP, sir? I've no idea, you'll have

to ask him. Did he tell you about

that, did he call you? I don't ever talk about my

conversations with Donald. Chris Christie scuttling away on

that question of whether he might have been the right vice

presidential choice. People speak on the main stage tonight, endorsing

Donald Trump as the best man to be president. Let's talk to our guests.

Nice to have both of you. How do you see this? Is it going well for Trump

so far? There are blips and accusations of plagiarism. And the

fact that the speeches went on way too long last night. Some of this is

just convention bumps. They never go perfectly. But I think it is unusual

just how bumpy this has been. The question is, how many people are

paying attention? I think some people are starting to tune in and

they might be confused by what is happening in this election. The Fox

viewing audience know this intimately. The American population

in general is not familiar with it and there were some ins and outs to

the scandal last night. That might be some confusion about who we are

nominating here and what the future is that we are talking about. When

we're talking about who we are nominating, do we think that is now

the end of that last-ditch attempt? We spoke to the plotters last night

and they have said, we are moving on. It was over weeks ago, actually.

It does not mean that the Republican party is unified. One of the great

challenges of the next few days is to demonstrate to the American

people, if you cannot bring a political party together, how can

you bring a nation together? In focus group, the number one

complaint about this election cycle is that it is causing greater

divisiveness. They are angry at both candidates for being so negative. It

is essential for Trump if he is to have a reasonable shot that they

walk away from here, and the religious, economic conservatives

and moderates are in line. That would have been true in the past,

but the way that Trump operates is this idea of yin and yang. When he

criticises one group, another group adores him. Maybe he can get by

without unifying. Hillary Clinton has the same challenge on the

Democratic side. There is still one in four Bernie Sanders voters who

does not want to vote for Hillary Clinton. She cannot win without

bringing them over. Hillary Clinton has been so present in the speeches.

She is like the which enemy in terms of nominees. And you are using

language that they were deuce. It is graphic language to use to describe

an enemy. And she is described as an enemy. It is not my worthy opponent,

the leader of the other party. There used to be a tradition that we are

old enough to remember that you did not name your opponent at all. You

referred to the other party or your challenger. They are not even

running against the Democrats, they are running against Hillary, and I

think the problem is that we have the most unpopular candidates in the

history of modern electoral politics. They are continuing to

drive each other down, and that is turning off a lot of people. Young

people are incredibly disappointed. This is the common than later. You

mention Hillary, and then you mention a placard saying Hillary the

prison. You mention Benghazi, and then you say, why should we try to

stop was when we should be winning them? It appeals to a lower common

than later. The first person to use the word enemy was Hillary Clinton

in one of the only democratic debates. They asked, who is your

enemy? She said, the Republican party. That has never happened

before. It goes both ways. I think that is correct. She said that. I am

not always sympathetic to but she is sometimes at her best when she is

tangling with whom she identifies as her enemy. She is not a uniter

herself. She does best in tough mode. Briefly, we were expecting the

whole convention to be overrun with protest and quite solid angry

protest. You think that is still to come, do you? I do. The helicopters,

I was listening to the police scanner, and they think it is about

one fifth of a mile from the convention hall. They will have a

problem tonight, so there are more police ear, greater concern for

security. It will happen at both conventions. One thing we should say

is, the reason there was so much attention paid to Melania's speech

last night and today is that Melania speaks to women and Republicans need

women. 53% of the US electorate are women, and they need that votes to

really turn this around. We will be hearing about the women's vote

little later in the programme. Back to you.

Thank you very much indeed. So, who will be leader

of the opposition? Shortly after 5 o'clock this

afternoon, we learned that it's not She withdrew, clear that she had

less support from MPs than her rival There's no formal rule that stops

a woman rising to the top of the Labour Party,

it just never seems to happen. And so the great contest

this summer is between It's already underway,

and if you support the aims of the Labour Party,

you can vote in it if you want by paying ?25

and registering by 5pm tomorrow. More expensive than voting

in X Factor, but more important too. Our political editor Nick Watt

is with me. Nick, the campaigns have started

coming the race is on. But do we know so far? Mixed picture for

Jeremy Corbyn. He took a hit today when his attempts to overturn some

strict rules of the NEC, ?25 to be a registered supporter, that stays. A

February cut-off to be a member, that stays. It appears that around

40,000 people may have signed up as registered supporters. The deadline

is tomorrow. We know that because a Labour figure says the party has

taken ?1 million in the last few days will stop divide that by 25 and

you get 40,000. We know that Jeremy Corbyn is trying to reprieve is the

successful tactics he had last year, so lots of union support. A senior

source told me that there are 50 people operating telephones in Unite

offices today, talking to supporters. Momentum, the group

supporting Corbin, they sent out an e-mail to supporters saying, you can

phone up, canvas people from the comfort of your sitting room using

our special application. They devised that last year and it worked

very well. We will discuss this in a few minutes, but if Jeremy Corbyn

wins, does the party split? I sense that the anti-Corbyn forces

since they face a formidable challenge because there was that

YouGov poll that said Jeremy Corbyn was ahead against any candidate. But

I do not sense there is an appetite for a split. There is an appetite

for amongst the plotters amongst them is for a war of attrition. To

keep coming back, to say that he will fail, to come back again, and

interestingly denied there was talk on providing the tradition that was

abandoned by Ed Miliband, to have elections to the Shadow Cabinet, and

what that would mean would be that Jeremy Corbyn would not be able to

appoint his Shadow Cabinet, and remember 176 out of 231 Labour MPs

said they had no confident in him. They would be appointing the Shadow

Cabinet. We will talk about some of that.

Well, I would say that it feels like a right royal battle

for the heart and soul of the Labour party, except many in the party

But what is clear is that a weird democratic experiment is underway.

Given the window of 48 hours in which you can pay,

register and then vote, the whole campaigning effort

by the different sides is directed at getting supporters to sign up.

And all by tomorrow afternoon at five.

A huge mobilisation is underway: grassroots campaigners.

There is the Momentum group, backing Jeremy Corbyn.

And another group called Saving Labour, backing

Secunder Kermani has spent the last two days on the Labour front line.

A warning, his piece contained some comradely language.

Are you interested in voting against Jeremy Corbyn? Across the country

rival Labour factions are battling it out, vying for the backing of

party member is. But the focus now is on ordinary supporters, who have

until tomorrow afternoon to register for a say in the leadership race if

they paid ?25. Jeremy Corbyn is a... Disgrace. Rush-hour in central

London, and Saving Labour are trying to convince people to sign up to

vote out Jeremy Corbyn. Have never known a time like it, this guy is

appalling at every level. I'm Jewish as well, so I am feeling the

anti-Semitism in my own party, and quite frankly now is the time for

people to actually step forward, and I'm thinking of it myself at the

moment, to actually step forward and actually save this party. If Mr

Miliband, and I'm talking about David now, actually thinks anything

of this party now, OK, so his charity job in New York City, get

back and sort this out. But right now we need you to sign up, and get

rid of Corbyn, I know it is along the than that but it is like

chopping the head off a monster. We are campaigning for strong

leadership. You don't think Corbyn is a strong leader? About you like

his values but the could you think it is not going to get support, you

are... It is complicated in that we agree with the politics as a

whole... Then you shouldn't be like they are not getting enough support,

let's support someone who might be stronger? Meanwhile, during a sunny

Sheffield lunch hour, the left-wing campaign group Memorandum are making

the case for Jeremy Corbyn. I followed it online, on Facebook. He

said... He said some good stuff can he wants to hear everybody's posts,

anyway. He stands up for the working class, so that's what I like about

him. I might register. You have got until tomorrow at 5pm. And its ?25?

It is, but it's worth having a say, isn't it? The Labour Party is being

destroyed, and he is part of that distraction. He really is. How can

he hold power with all the time he is sat on the backbenches and never

voted with the Labour Party, practically? He has always voted. He

has been safer on the left wing, you have to have the consensus. It is on

his conscience. Based on either his conscience or the consensus of his

constituents. With Labour's divide running so deep, there was talk of

the split becoming permanent. The supporters, you have lost them in

Scotland. I do understand that. Perhaps we should not be having this

conversation about saving Labour, perhaps we should have a new Labour.

I don't think that could work, in the long-term, totally. I don't

think there is a strong candidate. Trident is a point of difference. Is

that so important you that you would rather lose an election for that? I

am not convinced Owen Smith can win an election. I mean, Jeremy Corbyn

definitely can't. That is where we will have two agree to disagree. A

poll out today suggested Jeremy Corbyn would definitely win the

race, although if trusts the Poles these days? We can only win if we

are in government -- who trusts the polls these days. He does have the

right values. But he is not the right person to get it into

government. The polling would suggest otherwise. Then you should

change the Poles, make people vote for him. I'm going to vote for

Jonah? Yes, because I like him, let him breathe. Let him breathe a

little bit and get his thoughts together. Where was he when we have

the referendum? Did you know that Jeremy Corbyn gave the highest

number of speeches out of any member of the Labour speeches during the EU

referendum? It would be wrong to write off the anti-Corbyn faction.

Unless people like you sign up it won't work. OK, look, I'll sign up.

Especially with a long-term -- summer campaigning ahead to

influence party members, but the Corbyn campaign does inspire a

passion that is harder for moderates to match. Anyone who was not a party

member has an 5pm tomorrow to be able to register to cast a vote for

either side. I'm joined by Stephen Kinnock MP,

who is supporting Owen Smith. And by James Schneider

from the pro-Jeremy Evening to you both. James, if Owen

Smith wins the leadership, will you go out and that the Labour? You will

accept the result? Absolutely, everyone should accept the result,

we have a democratic election and whoever wins get behind who

supported and move forward as a party, absolutely. I have to ask you

the same question that Jeremy Corbyn, Steve? I will be continued

to be honoured to serve my constituents from the backbenches. I

have voted in favour of vote of no-confidence in Germany, that means

I could not possibly serve on the front bench, though I would likely

be invited to do so. Nick Watt, our political editor, said earlier that

the plan might be for a war of attrition against Jeremy Corbyn if

he wins, as seems likely. An attempt to get Shadow Cabinet elections,

which would show him with a Shadow Cabinet he doesn't really want.

Would you serve in the Shadow Cabinet if there were elected Shadow

Cabinet members? I think it is a real struggle to serve somebody

where you have actually voted that you have no confidence in their

leadership. But I don't want as they collate about that. I want to say is

that we now have Owen Smith as a very talented politician coming

forward with the courage to stand up and save the Labour Party. And I'm

absolutely convinced that over the coming months we will see the

opinion of the membership swinging behind Owen, precisely because if we

don't have a new leader we cannot form a credible opposition. If you

can't form a front bench you don't function as a credible opposition.

This is about saving our democracy as much about saving the Labour

Party poster the war of attrition, some people have their head in their

hands in despair at the idea that to be resolved, and we just

face, essentially, a continual battle within the opposition, rather

than a battle between the opposition and the government. Yes, I find the

idea of a war of attrition extremely disappointing. What we need to see

at the end of the leadership election is as many MPs as possible

working behind the leader, whichever one is elected, and also working

with the party members who stop we are now the largest left of centre

party in Europe. It will increase I think after membership opens again.

40,000 a or something. See if the registered supporters want to join.

Momentum have been making lots of phone calls, lots of interest. When

it do is make an asset out of our membership from that may have. But

you will oppose as vigorously as you can MPs voting for the Shadow

Cabinet, I assume, because that would just showed of the leader with

a Shadow Cabinet who disagree with improbably on everything. That is

something that would have to go through party conferences, not

something I have thought about. Can I ask you about Owen Smith? You

think he will win. In his background, I know the times are

reporting on this tomorrow, he was a lobbyist, he served for Pfizer, the

American pharmaceutical country. Will that be held against him? No,

because what Owen represents is a new chapter, a fresh start for the

party. He entered Parliament in 2010, he is not brown eyed, Labour

light -- Blairite, he did his lunch from his constituency. That is where

he has lived his politics and learned his politics. He has Labour

values and he has had the coach -- the courage and determination to

stand in what is a difficult time for our party and I'm convinced the

membership will get behind him because he has the values and

determination we need to win. You know his position on the private

health care in the NHS is what? What is his position on that now? Owen

has come out and said very clearly that we need things like a new deal

for Britain, ?200 billion to invest in our working class in stop private

health care in the NHS, do you know what his view is? Owen is a

Bevan-ite, he supports the NHS free at the point of delivery. He will

stand behind that. We will potentially get back to that. Can I

ask you...? . Jeremy Corbyn's position is on that? We have known

that quite some time! The party will declare UDI, they will then get the

money that the state gets the opposition, they become the

opposition in parliament, they get the money that the opposition get in

Parliament. That would leave you or your side, your residual Labour

Party, you could have all the people on the streets, but it leaves your

residual Labour Party in some trouble, doesn't it? I don't think

that is a very helpful hypothetical, we have a leadership election that

will be about policies and ideas, then afterwards we need to have

members who seem to overwhelmingly support Corbyn and the MPs need to

talk and many to understand what one another's positions are. I think

there has been too little so far of the MPs understanding the direction

that the members want to take on how they wish to transform the party. We

have to remember it is not like Labour is in difficulty now. We have

had two bad general election defeat. There is a crisis for social

democracy across the Western Road and we need to have a new model

party fit for the 20th century -- 21st century, and we need to hear a

lock knife that getting through to MPs. As that message does get

through and MPs do respect the democratic manga -- mandate that

hopefully Jeremy Corbyn will win again we hopefully would have these

discussions again. Can you tell me, Stephen Kinnock, you have not been

in any conversations about such a scenario, are plotting a proper

trajectory would be if it was necessary? Absolutely, and I can

tell you I joined the Labour Party in 1985. You have not had any

conversations about the party splitting? No, there was only one

Labour Party, it is the party I believe it is the one I joined. It

believes in gaining power for working people through a

Parliamentary democracy. We knows you can't do that when you have a

leader who has lost the confidence of the Parliamentary Labour Party.

If you have that leader, what happens? Those of us who have given

a motion of no-confidence will be honoured to serve from the

backbenches, and it will be up to the leader to see how he forms a

credible opposition. I see it a very difficult challenge him to face, but

what I also knows that we now Owen Smith in place, the party unites

behind him and we will win this. It will be an interesting summer. Thank

you both very much. When we voted for Brexit four weeks

ago, was Britain taking a stand not just against the EU,

but against globalisation We have had one of the more

internationalised economies in Europe; we rely more than most

on foreign investment, We're a big player in international

diplomacy and law. Many Brexit supporters said Britain

would be more outward if we left the EU, looking beyond

Europe to the world. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson

reiterated that goal I want us to reshape

Britain's profile as an even greater global nation,

a Britain that is more active, more outward-facing,

more energetic on the world stage Of course,

some voters want less globalisation And the Foreign Secretary's

sentiment there makes the proposed Japanese takeover of ARM Holdings

a particularly One of Britain's champion tech

companies. There is a live debate

as to whether this kind Some welcome it as proof that

Britain is still there, integrating But if we choose to obstruct it,

what does it say about Well, I'm joined by Mike Lynch,

an entrepreneur and the co-founder Autonomy was sold to Hewlett-Packard

for $11 billion dollars in 2011. A very good evening to you. Why did

you feel you needed to sell Autonomy, and didn't keep running it

as an autonomous British company? One of the great myths about a

British company is that under the rules of the UK stuck each change,

the board can't stop it. Unlike in America where have poison and

things, if someone comes along and offers you a nice premium above the

normal amount, 50%, either the company gets hold of you are no

longer in charge! It is a complete myth that there was a choice, there

was no choice when the premium gets so high. When Autonomy was sold, and

it was painful, they paid a lot more than most people think the company

was probably worth. Is it good for Britain to sell something before it

is at a price that is, you know, a good price come because we get the

money? Or is it bad the Bit On The Side things, even at a good price?

Actually in technology, these mark-ups are normal, so we don't

have that many technology companies in the UK, so we're used to seeing

20%, 30%, and actually 50% is a normal price in technology. These

are normal pricings. But ARM did incredibly well, going from a

start-up up to ?24 billion sale. If you are asking what happens to

the British input to this company, the staff, the brainpower, the

institutional history, that company you sold, Autonomy, where is

everyone who was involved in Autonomy? Are the unemployed, do

they have jobs, has science been harmed? One aspect of technology is

the people. They went, they went to HP, they left HP and now there are a

large number of companies that they have gone and started. I was

counting up the ones that I know of, and they are worth over ?1 billion

already. It didn't do us any harm? I don't think so, but I am optimistic

about the ARM deal, because the Japanese entrepreneur is a

visionary. ARM is a visionary company and I think this one will

work. Even if it doesn't, I think you would have a load of wonderfully

talented people in the UK starting new businesses. The problem is not

with the giants that gets sold at amazing prices, it is when our

wonderfully clever companies get sold at 100 million. When ARM leave

the stock exchange, there is nothing to replace it. That is the problem.

You would not stop the ARM sale at this point. If the Japanese want to

buy it, you would not get in the way. If investors know that it won't

be sold to someone, that trickles all the way down. Your worries about

smaller companies, and what is it about them that stops them growing

into ARM? The London stock exchange does not function well for tech

businesses. They get to ?100 billion, someone makes an offer, and

the people who have invested and done the work think, I cannot list

it in London. We have the biggest stock exchange in Europe, why not?

If you were a hard-working FTSE 100 fund manager, you need to know about

retail, or oil and so on, and there is one software company, so you

don't know much about it. So there is a critical mass. Yellow might

guess, if we can get a few of the companies to list, the virtual

circle kicks in and hopefully we will have billion-dollar tech

businesses listed in London. One thing you'll hear a lot

between now and November is that the female vote

is very important. Apart from women being half

the population, obviously. It's firstly that women's turnout

exceeds men's in the States. Have a look at this graph -

it shows every presidential election since 1980,

the female turnout in purple higher But there's also this:

since Bill Clinton won in 1992, women have always preferred

the Democratic nominee at every But currying favour with women

is tricky for Mr Trump. According to the latest Pew research

poll, in a head to head between Hillary Clinton

and Donald Trump, women would go Katty Kay has been

finding out for us. You call women you don't

like fat pigs, dogs, Donald Trump's rhetoric

towards women has become a flash point in a presidential election

that will pit a man against a woman. It's said to be the most

gender-driven election in US history, with Hillary Clinton

the first ever female nominee The only card she has

is the woman's card. If talking about these issues

is playing the woman's The biggest reason the two

candidates are carefully courting women in this campaign is that women

will control who wins More women vote in America than men,

and research shows they have decided Donald Trump is currently polling

worse with women than any presidential candidate since 1972,

but many women inside the Republican One high-profile supporter

on Capitol Hill is Congresswoman When he stood up there in the debate

and made a not very subtle reference to the size of his penis,

I watched that and, as a mother of four children,

I thought, I don't think I want my young daughter

watching this on television. And those are the things

you look at and say, Whether it was working in a male

dominated profession or here in Washington,

you have people that say inappropriate things,

and I think most women are like me. You have heard enough of it

through the years that And you don't embrace it,

but you push it aside. The women Trump really needs to win

over live in the suburbs of swing This is where this election

will be decided. It's hard to believe that this

sleepy neighbourhood is the front line in the battle for the White

House. But if you are a college educated,

white, single woman living in a suburb of Philadelphia

like this, you are the hottest At a social event for

the nonpartisan League of Women Voters in Philadelphia,

we met Laura, Suzanne and Kelly. What are the things that matter to

you from a presidential candidate? I think it is important to discuss

the economy, to discuss It is really important

to discuss education. I am looking to make sure that

everyone has access to health care, to quality education,

that income inequality, if we don't What you think about the tone

of this election campaign? It is the language that we haven't

heard really overtly in decades, and it is as if people have been

given permission now, because of the level of vitriol

in the discourse, to say those things out loud,

and it's very troubling. Millions of women did vote

for Trump in the primaries. She will be a Pennsylvania

delegate for Trump at Lynn owns a gardening business

and likes Trump's views on trade. I think he will do the best job

to keep us safe, and to try And he definitely knows how

to run a business. Beyond the economy, the attacks

in Orlando shook America We are going to go to Philadelphia,

and we're going to win in November. Lynn is clearly not moved

by the historic nature of Hillary Clinton's candidacy,

but for many American women, the possibility of putting a woman

in the White House after 44 male Is it important for you that she is

a woman and would be Of course it is, you can't not see

that, it is so important. The campaign has thrown up

an interesting phenomenon - a generation gap among female

voters. Older women seem to support Clinton

because they urgently want Younger women tend to feel confident

that they are going to get a female president at some point

in their lifetime, they are just not sure they want it

to be Hillary Clinton. Amy Klobuchar, a Democratic senator

from Minnesota does think that Hillary Clinton will successfully

reach younger voters. You have a new generation that

did not see her in those roles, and many of them were hardly voting

when she was Secretary of State, so you have that issue,

and she needs to reintroduce herself in a non-primary setting

when it is her versus Trump. Loudoun County in Northern Virginia

is a key swing district and a reliable bellwether

for the state. Women here are a must-win

for Clinton and for Trump. So you are going to

lunge, fly and back up. This woman runs a gym

and is a classic swing voter - economically Conservative

but socially liberal. She has voted both Republican

and Democrat in the past and is struggling with

who to vote for this year. We need to regulate the economics

in this country more. That is probably my

draw to Donald Trump. He is a businessman,

he has the economic background and he has made a successful

business of it. For foreign policy background,

I am drawn to Hillary Clinton. I trust someone who has sat

at the table and held I am torn between being

a businesswoman and being a woman. Of course, no one knows precisely

how many women will vote or which candidate they will vote

for, if we did, we could say already What we do know is that women

will decide who lives in the White House after Barack Obama,

whether it is America's 45th male The British people have spoken, and

the answer is... I love this country, and I feel

honoured to have served it. A political landscape

changed for ever. I know that virtually none

of you have ever done The Scottish Parliament
