Oscar-winning documentary maker Michael Moore has made his name, and won his awards, by offering searing critiques of American society.

“A new bit of rubbish.” That was the response of the Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman to the publication of material suggesting that one of the men believed to have carried out the Novichok attack on Sergei Skripal in Salisbury was a colonel in Russia’s intelligence services.

It was David Cameron who first tipped her as a future Prime Minister, but the Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson caused shockwaves last weekend, revealing not only that she suffered from depression and self-harm as a young woman, but that partly as a result of that, and also because of personal commitments, she will never…
