A YES group is joining forces with SNP and Alba members for “a show of unity” on an upcoming Day of Action.
Yes Skye and Lochalsh are to be hosting street stalls in Portree in Skye, alongside SNP and Alba for the Believe in Scotland national Day of Action.
Days of action will be held this Saturday and August 12 in the run up to a march and rally for an independent Scotland in the EU. The demonstration is a partnership event with Yes for EU and will take place on Saturday, September 2 in Edinburgh.
In an announcement on Tuesday, the group said it was delighted the two parties had agreed to campaign together on a local level.

The tweet said: “Yes Skye and Lochalsh is delighted that SNP Skye and Lochalsh and Alba Highland accepted our invite to put on a show of unity for the Believe in Scotland National Day of Action on Saturday, July 1 at 11am in Portree.”
The group also posted its email address for anyone wishing to volunteer at any of the three stalls (yesskye@gmail.com), as well as a cartoon graphic showing three individuals wearing jumpers with SNP/Greens, Yes, and Alba labels, standing arm in arm.

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!
