Aidan Skinner sparked fury online when he posted the barb on social media hours after the birth of Prince Harry and Meghan’s son was announced.

He put up a link to a blog he’d penned on getting rid of the monarchy, with the words: “Royal baby is it?”

He then posted an image showing the words “Who would win?” and a choice between a guillotine and an “abusive ruling class”.

Last night, Scottish Conservative chief whip Maurice Golden said: “There’s always someone ready to make crass and inexcusable jokes like this.

“And it’s no surprise to learn he’s found a home in an increasingly extreme Scottish Labour party.”

Mr Skinner, a software engineer, was the election agent for Glasgow Kelvin in the 2016 Holyrood election, and for Glasgow North in the 2017 General Election.

He is also a prominent Scottish Labour blogger and is followed on Twitter by a list of Labour MSPs, MPs and staffers.

The image he shared is a version of an internet meme that’s been circulating since 2017, where people often post pictures of ruling elites and suggest execution using

guillotine - dubbed a “slicey boi”, “slicey boy”, or “choppy boi”.

A pal replied to Mr Skinner’s post, appearing to tick him off, saying: “AIDAN.”

He appeared to feign innocence, saying: “Wut.”

The friend replied: “You know fine well. Go and sit on the naughty step.”

Mr Skinner then responded: “Just be sitting over here practicing my knitting.”

A Scottish Labour spokesman said: "This is clearly in poor taste and we will be speaking to this member."

Mr Skinner did not respond to requests for comment.
