ALL Under One Banner (AUOB) has invited all of Scotland's pro-independence parties to speak at an upcoming rally.
Invites have been issued to a number of parties including the SNP, Greens, Alba, Independence for Scotland (ISP), Scottish Socialist Party (SSP), Scottish Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) and Sovereignty.
At the time of writing, David McHutchon, the leader of Sovereignty, has accepted the invite while Colette Walker, leader of ISP, replied with a "favourable response" for her availability.

The SNP had been given a deadline of April 8 but a response has not been received. The Scottish Greens deadline is set for April 15 and all other parties have until April 22 to reply.
The SNP have been approached for comment,
The rally is scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 4 and is a march both for Scottish independence and “against the war on Gaza”.
We previously told how AUOB rebranded its graphics and messaging ahead of the march to include calls for a ceasefire in Palestine.
The invites have further added an invitation to "another of this year’s three scheduled AUOB demonstrations" if the Glasgow march was not doable.
These are due to take place in Stirling on June 22, Elgin on August 3 and Edinburgh on September 7.
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!
