PAUL Kavanagh, aka the Wee Ginger Dug, is back from America – and he's joining Stewart Ward for some big questions.
Between Brexit and new immigration policies that hit Scotland hardest, the unequal and broken nature of this Union is as clear as ever.
So, who will save it? Will it be Jackson Carlaw – and what can we expect from his reign as Scottish Tory leader?
Gordon Brown is also bidding to be the UK's saviour. It's Broonhog Day once again.
And, to top that, Marvel are even launching their own Union Jack-clad superheroes, named The Union. We've not had word on whether Ruth Davidson is joining.
Plus, we're looking at the media's record on holding the UK Government to account.
Paul also has an update on the health of Ginger.

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
