Great debater, clearly.

Answer his many, some would say valid, points with remarks more erudite than “shiny ****” and “melt”, whatever these mean.

There’s also a potentially valid argument to say that Scotland takes a lot more out that it puts in.

They only answer it with a lie.

The biggest issue in politics is that people don't want to hear the truth.

[donsdaft]

There's only one way of paying, that's taxation.

Let the politics begin.

Actually, people want to be lied to, the bigger the lie the better.
