THE re-appearance of Ruth Davidson on ITV – not that I witnessed it and never wish to do so – got me thinking.
Johnson and his cronies, having achieved their goal of avoiding the EU anti-tax evasion measures, have thereby dumped the UK in such chaos that an escape route from their bourach is required.
However, retaining their cash cow Scotland remains a priority! Does anyone else suppose that having Ruth Davidson plucked from the House of Lords and planted in a safe Tory seat to become the next PM prior to the next indyref might well be the ploy going round the exceedingly devious minds of Westminster?

I for one became a lifelong non-Tory having witnessed a similar stunt executed for diplomatic reasons on my home turf as a schoolboy in the mid 1960s, and believe it is not beyond the realms of possibility to witness a similar repeat by our alleged history-loving current failure of a Prime Minister.

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
