Good tribute, and well said at the end - Alex's dream will live on not as independence necessarily (because of snakes like Sturgeon) but as a dream of freedom and self-determination in our own land, working with other free nations as equal partners and not as toadies to international socialism or the EU or be debt slaves to IMF. That is the true dream.

Great tribute to Alex, great to hear the Burns quote at the end. I am totally turned off of Scottish Independence due to Nik Sturgeon's tyranny, after Salmond mentored her and gave her whole career opportunity, what a stab in the back - Sturgeon shows her total lack of class. But I will take a look at this new Alba party, have been away from Scottish politics for a long time. Christina Hendry is very good, Alex's niece I believe. We need to get beyond socialism, particularly international socialism, and get with Trump, then something can maybe start to happen - we don't need to carry the world's troubles on our back whilst we struggle to feed our own children and put a heater on.

Dear Alba, there is a spy in your party and people are becoming more aware. If I was your leader, I would remove the spy from your party with immediate effect. The Spy?, you are watching her here!!

Take a look at the video and you'll notice how few MSPs even bothered to show up for this Ash Regan farce.

Fit this lot better if they sorted out the bigger issues facing Scotland today!

The booty of self identification is that MP's can identify as being fit to run a country . The rest of us know the truth .

Alba, as bad as the SNP. Just accept the vote of the Scottish people and shut up. Same problem in the UK, the remoaners cannot accept a democratic vote.

Thanks for your courage Ash. It takes a lot of courage to speak truth to power. I'm grateful for your voice in the Scottish parliament.

I quit my founder membership of the party because of Kenny's rancid, unapologetic antisemitism. It galls me he's the acting party chief. It should be Neall Hanvey.

Nonsense rules today... non sense... that not of the senses just of thought... of make believe. Look at the results of make believe.

Very well done Kenny, you encapsulated everything!!!! I remember when I was a young quinie and Alex Salmond formed his first government. He didn’t have a majority but I remember thinking he will make it work and he more than did!! When the independence referendum came i voted Yes because whatever situation we end up in, our country would have been okay because we had Alex Salmond. Alex Salmond made us believe not just on a false belief but he knew our country was more than capable.

A befitting tribute to Alex would be to take back the SNP from the home rulers Brits, and careerists that inhabit the party at present!. Our day will come, Alex, Scotland will be free!

The Linlithgow laddie was thee colossus of Scottish politics. Peace be upon you, Alex.

Having read the speech, I was impressed by Kenny's delivery. No surprise there. He spelt out the challenge.

Well done to the idiots that were shouting at swinny a bloody disgrace you people need to grow up you do more for the unionists than you do for independence . Nothing but petty childish behaviour

Well said.

Far too much bickering between the different Indy parties, that’s exactly what the unionists want, it’s time we came together to get our freedom 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Sadly at a memorial service those outside embarrassed themselves by booing and hurling insults "Traitor" at John Swinney, I don't do political parties per se as IMO they are cults of one form or another, although I do support the cause of Independence, this was a memorial service for Alex Salmond, an opportunity for family, friends, previous close associates and political enemies to reflect and pay their respects, Swinney was attending as FM and in a personal capacity of knowing Alex Salmond for 30 years accompanied by his wife who has MS, this was inappropriate disrespectful behaviour those who indulged in it need to reflect on their anger and hatred drove that them to hurl abuse at a memorial service

The indy movement needs to send an SOS to Duncan Hamilton, he needs to lead the independence movement now.

Fantastic speech Duncan, you did him proud 👍

I agree that Alex’s biggest mistake was leaving as First Minister, I believe Scotland would be an independent country now. Ten years have been waisted to the now SNP who have sold their souls to Westminster and betrayed,not only the Party and the Scots they represent but they betrayed themselves. Mmmm,I wonder how Nicola Sturgeon’s, John Swinneys, Humsa Husaf, Kate Forbes and all the other MSPs (who kept their mouths shut of the betrayal) eulogies would be portrayed. The sovereign Scots need to remove these Traitors and it needs to be done soon before this Globalist Starmer leads us into a full scale war.

Alba is NOT "splitting the Indy vote" because Alba gets so few votes it really is irrelevant. Or more accurately, it's as electorally relevant as the Monster Raving Loony Party.

Alba was virtually irrelevant under Salmond. He at least was a recognisable figure who would always have something quotable for the media. Without Salmond Alba are totally irrelevant. MacAskill could only muster 638 votes in the general election, the Independent got more votes. Sad as his death is, it is good for the SNP. For Alba, he is irreplaceable

A worthy epitaph. A great man 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Always a great speech by Kenny. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Loved the description of rehearsing for the Referendum debates!

Fine speech.

I was in the cathedral, and Kenny's speech was very, very well received. In fact, he had a prolonged clapping without it going to a standing ovation, all in the respect of Alex Salmond. Outside when the ministerial car came to pick Swinney up there was a very different atmosphere among the crowd with loud chants of independence. He hurried away from the cathedral When Kenny came loud cheers greeted him. What a difference. A great day and a great service Christina his niece and his friend the KC also spoke very well. I was honoured to be there.

Dues paid, against the odds, you stood up for all the people of Scotland Rest In Power ✊

Great speech at the memorial service! 👏👏👏👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great speach Ms Regan. You couldn't find better words to describe Alex Salmond's political career and his efforts for Scotland. May this glorious country regain its independence one day and let his & many other patriots' dream come true. RIP Alex!

A world politician and statesman.

You are so badly missed Alex wish you where still here 😢

Superb tribute to AS

He did not speak for Scotland end of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😡😡😡

Honour him be keeping Alba for the scots. The true natives of this beautiful land. It's oors and I will die to keep her so.

I have a real feeling he was robbed from us by humza, sturgeon, and their cronies. Seriously, suspect foul play here. Alba gu brath.

Well said. What an excellent tribute. Alex may be at rest but he has left a strength in his Alba party and in some in the SNP which he said himself are still on the side of independence. 🙏🙏🙏 for Moira, family and friends. RIP the dream WILL NEVER DIE.
