SNP MP Marion Fellows’s choice of wall art is likely to provide some inspiration to independence supporters.
It seems home working provides MPs with an opportunity for some subtle digs at the UK Government.
While putting her questions to the Leader of the House virtually this morning, eagle-eyed Commons viewers spotted her “bang head here” poster positioned just to the left of her head.
The Motherwell and Wishaw representative’s wall hanging sums up how Scots feel about being part of the UK, if the latest polling is anything to go by.

A new Savanta ComRes survey, carried out for The Scotsman, shows 58% of Scots want to leave the Union – and 40% want a referendum in the next two years.
It is the 17th consecutive poll to show support for independence ahead of support for the Union, and also puts the SNP on track to gain a decisive majority at May’s Scottish Parliament election.
But this morning in the UK Parliament, Tory MPs told SNP representatives to stop relying on opinion polling and look at the facts, claiming they’ll take seats from Nicola Sturgeon’s party next year.

What was that about facts?! The poll shows the Tories are going to lose eight seats …
With this kind of chat no wonder Fellows, her colleagues, and all of us feel like we’re banging our heads against the wall while stuck in this Union.
With any luck there will be no need for such posters soon …
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
