Today is the last day you can subscribe to the National for just £20 (Image: NQ)
OUR spring offer comes to an end today, and there’s never been a better week in Scottish politics to subscribe.
It’s fair to say that the last few days have been a whirlwind after the collapse of the Bute House Agreement, but the team has thrived on bringing you all the latest updates and keeping you up to speed.
We’re offering subscriptions for just £20 for a year, so what are you waiting for?
The coming days and weeks are going to be filled with even more turmoil –so stay up to date and don't forget to subscribe before the offer ends at midnight tonight.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
