Former MEP Ben Habib and Chairman of Unlocked argued that Sadiq Khan had proven himself to be an unsuccessful Mayor of London. While speaking on Unlocked, Mr Habib highlighted some of the goals set by the mayor. He criticised Mr Khan and insisted he had failed to live up to any of his goals and could not use the coronavirus lockdown as an excuse.

My point is that I don t know why Scotland should take the risk of having their application turned down meaning being out of the UK with the fifth largest economy in the world.

Yes, it is a case of the vaccine but also looking beyond that for some topics, the European Union was a real catastrophe. EU is the virus!
