  1. Regardless of your opinion on his politics, he’s one of the most consequential politicians from recent times. Completely changed the prospect of Scottish independence from pipedream to real possibility

  2. > The Scottish nationalist stalwart was giving a speech in North Macedonia this morning.

    > STV News understands he died at some point after the event.

    Ah. Quality journalism right there.

    I didnt agree with his politics but i always recognised him as a highly skilled politician.

    RIP.

    another reminder to the rest of us, we never know when its our time to go. he died unexpectedly with no illness.

    so live your life as you want.

    It is amazing how quick wikipedia updates, the alba party page now has the leader position as vacant and alex salmond was leader until 12th october 2024!

    Who are these people who run and do this!
