I CAN’T honestly see how Angus Robertson MSP can continue in his current role as Cabinet Secretary following The National’s exclusive that civil servants had prepared an emergency response in case the liaison with the Israeli deputy ambassador was leaked to the press.

This shows that Robertson was well aware of the problems meeting this representative of the genocidal killer regime of Israel and was taking actions to cover his back. No amount of apologies can make up for putting the Scottish Government in such a disreputable position.
If John Swinney really is the leader of the SNP he should sack Robertson now, otherwise this whole fiasco will continue to tarnish his already failed leadership. Losing an election so heavily, failing to accept the real electoral problems facing the SNP and now a rogue Cabinet Secretary who believes the party’s policies are for others to follow and not for him.

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!
