Convinced after years in office of their sole right to rule, they display arrogance and contempt for the parliamentary process. Is all of this familiar? You need look no further than the SNP government at Holyrood. Their 14 years in power descended into a chaotic storm of vicious infighting within their own ranks.

Independence Live will also provide access to resources and further learning for those who wish them. The group told The National: “This major virtual event will, for the first time, bring together a wide range of voices to discuss the full implications of an independent Scotland adopting the approach outlined in the Sustainable Growth Commission report. ....
AS we experience Nicola Sturgeon’s further actions which will destroy the economy ( Scots told to stay at home or risk breaking the law , The Herald, January 5), perhaps alternative logical actions could be recommended. Guilt over the initial care home disaster, denied by the Government, has led to priority vaccination of those in care homes. This ignores the catastrophes in the NHS, and that facing young people’s education, a loss of which will affect their whole life chances. Are their possible achievements and 30 to 40 years of productive life less valuable than an extra five to 10 years of life for the elderly or chronically ill, notwithstanding the emotional consequences?
