NOW that Plaid Cymru has, like the SNP, regained its autonomy, breaking with Welsh Labour over the concerns about their new leader Vaughan Gething, yet another opportunity arises for Scotland.
Prior to the announcement of the General Election the country is desperate for, John Swinney, Michelle O’Neill and Ruhn ap Lorwerth need to call a 3D summit to discuss the concerns of 3/4 of the UK countries in relation to Europe, the global stage (including Gaza and Ukraine) and domestic policies.

The three devolved governments share so much with regards to their outlook on social, economic and global issues and are weighed down by the disproportionate, uninterested and suffocating power wielded by the fourth, England, represented by Sunak/Starmer.
The 3D group must move together to adopt forward thinking and dynamic strategies to counter the constipation of Westminster.

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
