THE Radical Independence Campaign has announced a new conference focused on breaking the “impasse” of the constitutional question.
The event will be held in Glasgow this October and feature speakers and talks, organisers said.
The one-day conference will be the RIC’s first since the outbreak of the pandemic.
Speakers are expected to include representatives from the Scottish Greens and the Scottish Socialist Youth.
Workshops will be focused on “climate justice, trade unions and independence” as well as guiding activists on how to organise local campaigns.

Organisers said: “We wish to create a friendly forum to contribute to a discussion on where Scottish politics and the independence movement finds itself now, and to explore the options and strategic implications of the proposals coming from different parts of the movement.
“We want to have a good conference with lively discussions that produce clear decisions and commitments — in other words, a well thought out strategy and plan of action to take forward RIC and the movement for Scottish self-determination.”
Speakers are to be announced at a later date.

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!
