THERESA May has been accused of “running feart” after banning The National from her Glasgow press conference.
The Prime Minister is north of the border today as part of her campaign to get the public behind her Brexit deal.
But the Tory leader isn’t going to bother trying to win over the hearts and minds of readers of the only newspaper to support an independent Scotland.
No 10’s press office said “limited capacity” meant they wouldn’t be able to extend an invite to The National.
It’s the second time in as many weeks that our reporters have been denied a chance to hold top Tory government officials to account.
Two weeks ago we were the only national Scottish newspaper denied a chance to question May’s de-facto deputy David Lidington.
The SNP MSP George Adam said: “Theresa May is running feart.
“As is par-for-the-course on her day trips to Scotland, she’s hiding from the public and dodging questions from the press – only speaking to a hand-picked audience.
“She’s in town just a day after analysis revealed her damaging Brexit plan will cost Scotland
£9 billion in GDP. That’s £1600 per person. Little wonder she’s trying to hide from scrutiny.”
In the coming weeks, only subscribers will be able to comment on The National articles. Subscribe now or log in to make sure you stay a part of the conversation.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions. What should we do with our second vote in 2021? What happens if Westminster says no to indyref2?
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversation, register under fake names, and post vile abuse. We’ve had hundreds of emails from you complaining about this, asking us to take steps to ensure that these people aren’t given a platform on our site.
We’re listening to you, and here’s how we plan to make that happen.
We have decided to make the ability to comment only available to our 10,000 paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them.
We’ll be monitoring this change over the first few weeks, and we’re keen to know your thoughts. Email us at letters@thenational.scot if you want to have your say.
