I HAVE expressed in writing my admiration for Nicola Sturgeon. I am also a fan of the way Ian Blackford has conducted himself in Parliament. So I must have misheard when it was announced that the SNP were considering a disastrous move akin to the Clegg/Cameron Rose Garden liaison which put the Liberals in political hell for the best part of a decade – rescued only recently, by being the only English-based party with a coherent Brexit policy.
I know politicians have short memories but not that short, surely?

And, while he may not have a penchant for pigs’ heads, Corbyn is the worst leader in Labour history and will sink anyone who associates with him. There is no short-term gain worth this gamble.
I sincerely hope that this is a smoke screen for behind-the-scenes negotiations for Scottish/EU relations post-apocalypse.
Remember – Labour has no policy on Brexit.

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
