Hi everybody, now I'm right between Birmingham and Liverpool and chain on my bike is broken, maybe something else as well. The question is that I have no idea how to get home to Glasgow. Any advices?

Birmingham and Liverpool are 80miles apart.
Do you have anywhere more specific you can give as a location?
Use the mapping on your phone to drop a pin then post a screenshot on here.

You'll need a motorcycle garage, assuming you still have the broken chain they'll be able to give you a split link to replace the broken one and may even sort out cleaning up the current chain to fit it.
If you dont have the old chain then you're going to need a new chain and a number of tools so really you need to get your bike to a garage for them to fit said chain. I would suggest you search on your location and get pushing or call your breakdown company if you're lucky enough to have one.

Nothing lucky about having or not having breakdown cover

Can't help I'm afraid, but if you can get on here to post, can you get on google for local motorbike mechanics? You may find one that takes pity on you and will sort you out for a lot less than a recovery company of you're not covered.

If you don't ask, you won't get

I gave a call to the garage in london where I already was once, and now waiting for a pick up(~3hours). Yes, it is quite expensive but better than sleep on fuel station

Dumped a link in the Madlanders section - someone there might be able to help
