A former Liberal Democrat candidate who stood against the SNP's Ian
Blackford at the last election has now said she will support him on 12 December.
Jean Davis, who stood for the Liberal Democrats in Ross,
Skye and Lochaber in the 2017 election, said she is lending the SNP
Westminster leader her vote as "the best option to stop Brexit".
Ms Davies, who came third in 2017, said she would only vote for someone with a strong
connection to the constituency, who preferably lives there, and for someone
against Brexit.
Shadow minister criticises Corbyn's handling of anti-Semitism
BBCCopyright: BBC
Labour's shadow equalities spokeswoman Naz Shah has criticised Jeremy Corbyn’s refusal
to apologise for anti-Semitism in the party in last week’s Andrew Neil
interview.
But Naz Shah suggested he had not handled the issue well.
Speaking at an election hustings for the Jewish community in
North London, she said Mr Corbyn had apologised in the past and this week, but added: “I would have done things differently."
Ms Shah was suspended by the Labour Party three years ago
for an anti-Semitic Facebook post published before she entered politics.
But she has since
earned plaudits for making an effort to learn about anti-Semitism and build
bridges with the Jewish community.
She said she wanted more people in the Labour Party to go on the "same journey" as her, admitting that she had known nothing about anti-Semitism.
She defended Mr Corbyn’s leadership, saying: “I have never
sold something I wouldn’t buy. I definitely believe on a personal level that
Jeremy does care because I have had conversations with him.”
But she added: “Whether he does it the right way and
whether he is getting it right is a different question.
“And that is a conversation I want to continue with the
leadership.”
Former Labour MP Chuka Umunna, who is now a Liberal
Democrat candidate, reacted angrily to her comments.
He said: “I am so angry and so disappointed that good
people in the Labour Party defend the indefensible.
"I am fed up with it. He (Mr
Corbyn) is guilty of racism. He is guilty of it.”

Gardiner: PM is running scared of scrutiny

Labour's Barry Gardiner says Robert Peston's interview with Boris Johnson reminded him of "two men shouting at each other in the pub".
He says the PM did not answer Mr Peston's questions on Brexit and is "running scared" of scrutiny.
Challenged over Labour's own Brexit position, Mr Gardiner says it is the only party in the election to give voters a "final say".
Sturgeon: No formal coalition with Labour

Robert Peston has now moved onto an interview with Scottish First Minister and SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon.
She says that she does not foresee a formal coalition with Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party - and would prefer to support any minority Labour government through more informal agreements on issues Labour and the SNP can agree on.
Ms Sturgeon says her focus now is on ensuring Boris Johnson does not have a majority when the results are in on 13 December.

Wednesday's Electioncast with Greg Jenner, a polling day weather forecast, and Trump v Trudeau, the fallout.
On tax policy, the prime minister says he believes the UK should be taxing online giants "properly". But he says this should be done fairly.
As the interview concludes, a visibly agitated PM is asked - if he wins a majority - whether everyone will stop talking about Brexit after 31 January.
Mr Johnson says yes - prompting a loud rebuke from Mr Peston of "that's not true!".
The PM adds: "What will happen is that the parliamentary agony will be over... the anguish will be over."
PM: I did not force candidates to back my deal
The Tories have said all of its parliamentary candidates support Mr Johnson's deal, but the PM says he has not "forced" prospective Conservative candidates to pledge their support.
Asked by Robert Peston whether, for example, food standards are more important than a free-trade deal with the US, the PM does not agree or disagree but says "we have massive opportunities and we need to seize them now".
Asked to name a deal that will happen as part of the "tidal wave" of investment post-Brexit, Mr Johnson claims Goldman Sachs says that there is £150bn riding on Britain leaving the EU.
The PM adds that he doesn't wish to cite specific deals or people.
Johnson challenged over the EU

Challenged by Robert Peston over his insistence that the UK is "out of the EU", the PM says the UK has chosen to have a transition period for the smoothness of business and that it was a choice that can be ended at any time.
Mr Peston then confronts the PM with a printed version of his Brexit deal which he claims is 10% of the size of Theresa May's withdrawal agreement.
Mr Johnson accuses the ITV journalist of being too pessimistic.

First, at a hustings, the Labour Party's Naz Shah, deputy shadow equalities minister, has apologised to the Jewish community for
the “hurt and pain that has been caused” by her party’s handling of anti-Semitism in its ranks.

community in North London.
Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick urged the audience to “turn
the tide from anti-Semitism” by voting Conservative.
Chuka Umunna, for the Liberal Democrats, did not touch on the issue
of anti-Semitism in his opening remarks, talking instead about Brexit and cuts
to London’s policing budget.
