On Thursday evening we started our winter series of card games with friends from Helensburgh, we played ‘Gin Rummy’ where as you know Aces count!

It occurred to me that Scotland holds all the Aces when it comes to resources and Salvo now holds all the Aces when it comes to regaining Sovereignty.

How and when Salvo plays those Aces will be critical.

The world is changing before our eyes and not in a good way. Yesterday Labour swept the Tories away in two By-Elections at a time when Labour’s own officials are resigning because of Starmer’s stance on the war in Gaza….so watch this space!

Timing is important in all decisions we make, opportunities to play those Aces will come and we must be ready.

I think we can safely say the SNP have parked their plans for ‘Independence Now’! That leaves Salvo with the only credible plan to move forward along with PPs who run on a ticket of Direct Democracy in its true sense of People not Parliament are Sovereign.

We’ve seen and lived through Parliaments who declare they are Sovereign and have suffered the consequences. Scotland deserves much better than a Parliament that shuts its people out.

When a Leader of a country declares he/she speaks for the Country we must make sure they really do and the only way that can happen is to adopt a system where the people really are in charge, not some tin pot Politician!

We are on the cusp of something new, believe it and get ready.
