IT is utterly despicable that the Scottish Tories, alone, asked for the resignation of Scotland’s FM before the courtesy of hearing her give evidence to the Holyrood committee. However this is not surprising and is in line with the Conservative party being the only UK Unionist party to have been against devolution and continued to despise and degenerate its existence.

Throughout the 20 years of devolution this has been the case and now with the implementation of the UK Internal Market Bill its very existence is at stake.
So much for Boris Johnson’s “union of equals”, destroyed by his “disaster” utterance on devolution. The truth is the only disaster has been this Tory government’s shameful handling of the deadly Covid pandemic and the shambolic withdrawal from Europe.

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
