COLUMNIST Paul Kavanagh (aka the Wee Ginger Dug) and National editor Callum Baird are here to discuss the EU election results that say it all about the state of the Union.
There's also the independence referendum Bill introduced at Holyrood – and there's some devils in the details, that might have the UK Government nervy...
Elsewhere on the agenda is Labour's civil war. The party's European election results saw them in freefall, and they aren't landing on their feet. The Tories have their own leadership woes, too.
And, of course, we couldn't forget an update on the most important political issue of the week – the bins in Barlanark.

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 about the future of our country.
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 conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our 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. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
