ALL Under One Banner (AUOB) has confirmed that an SNP MP will speak at an upcoming independence rally in Glasgow.
Independence supporters are due to march for both Scottish independence and “against the war on Gaza” on Saturday, May 4.
AUOB invited all independence supporting parties to attend the rally and put forward a speaker to address the crowd.
The SNP had initially missed the deadline of April 8 set by AUOB to confirm whether or not they would be sending a representative to speak at the rally.

However, they have now confirmed that SNP MP Alison Thewliss (below) will attend and address the crowd.
AUOB said in a post on social media: “@theSNP has confirmed that Alison Thewliss MP will be the party’s speaker at the Glasgow Green Rally on Saturday, May 4”.
At the time of writing the Scottish Greens have yet to respond to AUOB’s invitation.
When The National approached the party for comment, they declined to offer any response.
The invites also added an invitation to "another of this year’s three scheduled AUOB demonstrations" if the parties were unable to attend the Glasgow march.
These are due to take place in Stirling on June 22, Elgin on August 3 and Edinburgh on September 7.
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!
