THOSE hard-working Yes activists at Independence Live have secured a coup by hosting a star guest in tonight’s chart show.
They told us: “Like him or loath him, there is little question that Alex Salmond, leader of the Alba Party, makes news.
“Now National readers can put their questions directly to him. He is live on the TNT [The Nation Talks] show on IndyLive tonight, starting at 7pm.”
The programme’s host, John Drummond, said: “This is an important election. The decisions we take as voters on May 6 may well affect us all for years to come.
“So, it is vital we hear from the main players of the independence movement. I am pleased that Alex is happy to take your questions live on the show.”
Drummond added: “We have invited First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to be our guest on the TNT show on April 28, and we expect to hear from her team shortly.”

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!
