SHOULDN’T Scottish MPs boycott the irrelevant pantomime of Prime Minister’s Questions? It’s supposed to be an opportunity for MPs to ask questions on behalf of constituents, rendered redundant by recent Tory PMs.
On Thursday Dr Philippa Whitford asked Sunak what Scotland’s legal route to independence is. He didn’t even attempt to answer the question. Didn’t even begin to. All acceptable to this democracy-denying House of Brigands.

Sunak ignored the question, fending it off with his usual autocratic ignorant tosh – Scotland’s “voluntary” union in reality a colony whose democratic rights are suppressed by the occupying power run from Westminster.
With no checks for honesty and veracity to meet, Sunak callously abuses PMQs like a fascist dictator being inconvenienced by this charade.
In the absence of answers, shouldn’t SNP MPs not bother asking questions of our fascist PM and save us from Sunak’s vacuous soundbites? No answers, no point attending.

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!
