Says the unelected and unemployed politician.

The Forests of Azure Salmond wants a debate? All he and his indiscipli­ned mob does is utter abuse and downright disrespect if any one dares disagrees with them. Mrs May is probably not the best Prime Minister the UK as ever had, but she has tact and diplomacy, which is alien to the SNP.

Scotland and the Union Forever Well, the people of Scotland voted on his competence in 2014 and the people of Gordon gave him the final vote on his competence in 2016, much to his surprise.

City Loon Salmond says it’s time for the SNP to talk about independen­ce. That’ll make a nice change

Arch Stainton For once I find myself agreeing with Alex Salmond, to my surprise. We have a hopelessly weak and lacklustre government in hock to a hard right minority.

Alasdair Gordon The Ego has landed.

Gregor Mcgregor Every time he opens his mouth the nationalis­ts lose support.

No Enemies There are few things on which Salmond can speak with real depth of experience. Incompeten­ce is certainly one of them.

Scotspat Alex, as usual, is completely correct. Whatever happened to the land of low taxation as trumpeted by the SNP? They have already made Scotland the highest-taxed area in the UK, can you imagine the carnage if they got all the the levers they keep banging on about? SNP = the party of high taxes, should go down well at the next election:)

Paradise Island Of course these tax rises will have negative outcomes, but the SNP doesn’t care about that. The tax rises are purely an act of spite by the SNP designed to stick the boot into people that, for the most part, don’t vote for them. They keep talking about making things fairer, but they appear not to know what the word “fair” means.

Jack Smith It doesn’t take a Wall Street banker to work out that increasing taxes just when interest rates are about to commence an early rapid rise will damage the High Street; we will all have less money.

Charloch The High Street is simply going through another period of retail evolvement. The days of the small shops on every street corner disappeare­d years ago.

The Ayrshire Bard People have more money than sense! £395 to Social Bite would have been better.

Ellen Anderson I agree a donation, however small or large, would have been a better idea.

Sarah O’brien How do you all know they did not donate? We are really too quick to judge without being there! Rein it in people, stop the negativity, be positive.

Kel Marie What gets me is all these expensive clothes and bags are only seen once!

Kathleen Ferguson I bet Meghan Markle is cringing at the publicity this bag is being given when she is trying to highlight good things going on in our country. Yes, we all know she has her own money from her acting career and can spend it how she wishes privately,

Claire AA Eidie £395 – that’s crazy. How many hungry impoverish­ed people would that feed?!?

Claire Bews What they don’t say is how many were in stock before it sold out. My guess is three.

Banjulbert How can a gender striving for equality be taken seriously when something as uneventful as a future princess carrying a bag drives many to attempt to purchase the same? Simple and shallow or what?

Auldcynic The usual whinging bitter failure types always gripe about the royals and spit the word “parasite” etc, but hate it when it’s pointed out how much tourism and other financial benefits there are related to the royals.
