Cruel Beyond Words

A New documentary will lift the lid on the “cruel beyond words” abuse former Lib Dem leader Charles Kennedy faced on social media towards the end of his life.

Kennedy died in 2015, aged 55, as a result of complications from his battle with alcoholism.

Tonight’s BBC Alba programme Charles Kennedy: A Good Man Speaking explores his career from becoming the MP for Ross, Cromarty and Skye at 23, his rise to be leader of the Lib Dems and opposition to the Iraq War.
