Getting your day in court, a ‘Tory death wish’, and Scottish heroes all in Alex Salmond’s Courier column

Alex Salmond is rallying against big companies’ desire for their day(s) in court when they don’t like a government decision.

Donald Trump, insurance giants and even the Scotch whisky industry are all in the firing line but they’re not the former First Minister’s main target.

He’s exercised about the prospect of the controversial Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. Why is he so concerned about the complex series of trade negotiations being carried out between the EU and USA? All is revealed in his exclusive column.

You’ll also get the ex-SNP leader’s take on the spending cuts and savings packages announced by Chancellor George Osborne last week. It may not be a surprise to learn he’s not wildly excited about what’s on offer and the impact it has on the Scottish Government’s already set budget.

On a more positive note, he’s picked out not one but two Scottish heroes from the French Open tennis tournament. Andy Murray is the obvious first shout after his battling performance in the semi final but there is a second sporting champion who is well worth of praise.
