SO Nigel Farage is demanding that his Brexit Party be represented in any future talks on leaving Europe?
It will be very interesting to see whether he gets his way on this issue since Scotland has been repeatedly ignored or sidelined on any discussion of import for thee years!
I wonder how the No voters to indyref 2 would react if his demands are met – or are they too apathetic to care much?
Our hopes and good wishes follow Ian Blackford and Mhairi Black on their tour of Scotland to raise awareness and public debate. It’s a wonderful follow-up from the successful EU elections!

IF the new referendum really is more than a year away – which I don’t believe to be the case – then it is far too early for the SNP to be “on an election footing”. One of the lessons of the 2014 campaign is that the next one should be short and crushingly powerful.

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!
