on the train was vital for passenger safety. ScotRail says the deal means

that second person will be there. It should mean an end for the

The leader of the Scottish Liberal Democrats, Willie Rennie,

has accused the SNP and the Conservatives

of campaigning on "fear, not hope" in his speech

Earlier, I spoke to our political correspondent David Porter

in Brighton, and put it to him that they're not the party of government

No, they are not. That is part of the reason the language we are

hearing this evening. He is very keen like other Liberal Democrats to

get people to hear his views. With the UK general election and the

general election. It is fair to say that the Liberal Democrats are

feeling marginalised at the moment. feeling marginalised at the moment.

-- Scottish parliament elections. The only have one MSP at -- five MSP

's and one MP at Westminster. It will be out looking and optimistic,

Willie Rennie says. He is aware that the only show in town at the moment

is Brexit and the reaction to that, hence the comments he has been

making today. He has accused both the SNP and the Tories of trying to

make party political advantage of that EU referendum almost three

months ago now. It is a dismal scene that has been visited upon us by the

Conservatives and the SNP. Stalled investment, uncertain future for EU

citizens, divided families, economic instability, tensions between the

nations of the UK. This is the work of the terrible twins of divisive

politics. I believe the former leader Lord Ashdown has been

thinking out loud today Koziello yes, he has. Three months on from

that EU referendum he has been thinking about what it means for

Scotland and whether Scotland remains part of the UK. He believes

the monks on the prospect of the union, are less dire than directly

after that referendum. He believes that any moves for a second

independence referendum, Nicola Sturgeon, in his words, will try to

play things long. He does say that if Britain does not say part of the

single market, he believes that will strengthen Nicola Sturgeon's hands

and any calls for a second referendum in Scotland. --

negotiations go, he thinks the Prime Minister could be tempted to call an

early UK general election. Perhaps as early as May next year.

Westminster, you have not even wet your whistle. This was the satirical

wrap sketch that was performed at the Independence Convention on

Sunday. Singers representing Scotland's female leaders obstruct

the stage, making jokes and innuendo. You are about to get hit

with the wit from the Cabinet. What has caused controversy is that Ruth

Davidson character is introduced as Ruth date deed. She called the song

hilarious. The Conservative MSP also disagrees. She has written to them

asking to apologise. In this day in age, we are trying to educate and

have inclusive education for children with in our schools, yet,

we have a member of Parliament saying that was OK. It was hilarious

and it was just satire. It certainly was not. Ruth Davidson recently

and it was just satire. It certainly announced she was engaged to her

partner, Jennifer Wilson. She has made jokes about lesbians as well.

The Labour and Green Party also have gay leaders. Stonewall Scotland says

that homophobic language can still be heard in workplaces and schools.

Not everyone believes language brings discrimination. There is a

difference between people saying things or cracking crude jokes and

people being violent and we should get back to recognising there is a
