THE Labour conference begins this weekend in Liverpool, and The National will be there to put all those awkward questions to the party.
While Labour seem to get an easy ride from a lot of media outlets, we're not interested in softball questions.
Whether it's the party's insistence on continuing Tory austerity, their cutting of the Winter Fuel Payment, their continued export of weapons to Israel, or their dismissive attitudes towards Scotland, we're happy to bring up the uncomfortable topics that never seem to make it to the top of the BBC headlines.
We'll be getting the behind-the-scenes scoops and finding out how happy members really are with Keir Starmer's conservative agenda, and reporting on the moments that really matter.
It's perfect timing as we're marking our 10-year anniversary with our best ever offer - £10 for a whole year of access to the newspaper.
Subscribe today and don't miss a bit of our conference coverage, starting on Sunday.
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
