THE SNP MPs – and the party in general – are clearly out of touch with ordinary voters in Scotland. While many are struggling to heat their homes or put food on the table, MPs like Pete Wishart focus on the big issues: not enough flights to London!
Is life in Perthshire so perfect that it’s escaped the cost-of-living crisis or is Wishart yet again so out of touch with reality that he’s become a laughing stock?

How can SNP members be expected to vote for the party again on failed promises of delivering independence when you have Wishart making a fool of himself with his focus on London flights!
I predict that unless something drastic happens in the SNP, an awful lot of members and supporters will simply sit out the next election. After all, when you can’t afford to feed your family, what do you care about how easy it is for Pete Wishart and his ilk to moan about travelling to their extremely well paid jobs!

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!
