THE Queen is to appoint the new Prime Minister at Balmoral. It does not matter who it is, Sunak or Truss, they will be a prime minister voted into office by the mainly English Tory membership. An unelectable Prime Minister foisted on Scotland, a country that has not voted Tory since 1955.

This act has really nothing to do with Scotland and could have possibly been done on Zoom, to save money in this time of approaching recession, caused mainly by the Tories and Rishi Sunak as Chancellor. A Chancellor who has written off £50 billion of taxpayers’ money without any attention for responsibility or accountability for his actions, allowed to get off the hook by a weak and feeble official opposition led by Sir Keir Starmer. His Labour party no longer is there for the working classes or willing to support workers’ rights. Shame on Labour, shame on Stammer.
This act of appointment in Scotland is solely an attempt to make us Scots (with the highest electricity standing charges in Britain) feel more British. Ha bloody ha.

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!
