READERS will recall that several Yes groups sent letters to all independence supporting MPs and MSPs last September to ask about how the politicians see the way forward for the independence cause.
The latest to give her thoughts will be Hannah Bardell, SNP MP for Livingston, who has agreed to take part in a Zoom session with Yes Pentlands, supported by Yes Edinburgh and Lothians.
They told The National: “Yes Pentlands invite you to their first virtual Zoom meeting of the year with Hannah Bardell, who has been an SNP MP at Westminster since being elected in 2015.

“She is currently the SNP spokesperson for digital culture, media and sport. Prior to that she gained valuable political experience working with former first minister Alex Salmond and former SNP MEP Ian Hudghton.
“Hannah has considerable media experience working in commercial television, as well as in the oil and gas sector and even worked for a time with the US state department in their Edinburgh Consulate.
“The arts and sport are among her leisure activities.”
This meeting is the second arranged between SNP and Green Party parliamentarians with Yes Edinburgh and Lothians to debate and discuss the topics raised in the letter sent last September.
Yes groups, independence supporting groups, and individuals are all invited to take part in this free event between 7pm and 8.30pm on Friday, January 15.
Please register at Eventbrite and Zoom details will be sent to you shortly before the event.
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
