Alex Salmond has been kicked out of Parliament after losing his fight to be re-elected as MP for Gordon. The former SNP leader joined more than a dozen of his SNP colleagues on the sacked list this morning in a grim night for the nationalists. Mr Salmond was swept away by a Scottish Conservative surge that saw an historic resurgence in the Scottish borders and the north east. Mr Salmond, the SNP's foreign affairs spokesman, had swept to power in the seat with a 8,687 majority in 2015, overturning decades of Liberal Democrat rule. 1.2k comments 1 video 2.1k shares Alex Salmond kicked out of Parliament as he LOSES his seat

The choice of a black man to replace Alexandra Shulman shouldn't be the main topic of discussion.

Police are investigating cruelty claims at Hartpury College, Gloucestershire, after graphic footage of students stamping on a fox cub's head and slitting its throat was posted onto Snapchat.

Days earlier, a second-year student was branded 'pure evil' after a photo - which shows him grinning and holding a dead cat up by its TAIL - went viral. The pet apparently belonged to two employees who live on campus and had posted online saying it was found dead in a hedge, believing it had been hit by a car.
