To my mind this shows the new Prime Ministers’ intention to be fully involved with the Devolved Parliaments whether she is invited to or not. “The PM believes” shows this is her decision and not an invite by anyone.

To my knowledge, a sitting PM has never accompanied the Sovereign during their duties in the Scottish Parliament.

This is not her role and as such is making a political statement in doing so, and this is not the time for Political statements.

Exactly what does she think she is going to do, what role in the proceedings does she think she can hijack?

Or will she just hang around like a spare part?

Is this her first big mistake? Muscling in on sad events sends out all the wrong messages. This is not about her. However, what it does do is it gives us all a glimpse into her personality. “Look at me, I am so important” …….NO you are not Prime Minister and this is neither the time nor place to pretend so.

Scotland does not need your help to mourn and King Charles certainly does not need your help to carry out his duties either.

Over the years he has fostered a relationship with the people of Scotland, you haven’t!

Whether Monarchists or not, Scots respect the moment.
