THE LibDems in England aim to drop their commitment to the EU at virtual conference. Will Willie Rennie’s wee band follow suit after Scotland voted to remain? Or will they just fall into line if the motion goes through?
In fact, has Willie Rennie even been contacted about the implications of this? Has he made representation about this problem it puts the LibDems in up here?

The fissures hitting the Unionists are increasing. The UK is slowly coming apart. The so-called Unionist parties are actually English in all but in name.
No doubt Willie Rennie’s response will be eagerly awaited, and can we be assured that he will insist that the Scottish LibDems will stand up for Scotland this time round?
The response is likely to be “Yes, but ... we are all British, aka English!”

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
