Happy Growth Commission Day everyone.
As the SNP release their long-awaited commission looking into how an independent Scotland could run, the i has led on the news that skilled workers and migrants could get a tax break for moving to the newly independent nation.
The Scottish Daily Mail has also led with the same story - though you can almost hear the disdain dripping off the word "migrant" on their cover.
The Mail is also focusing on the line that Scotland needs to attract more workers because its tax bands are slightly higher. Of course in reality it's because of Westminster's awful immigration policies and our ageing population, but it wouldn't be a Mail cover without a dig at the SNP.
Throwing a surpising curve ball into today's media coverage, the Scottish Daily Express has taken some inspiration from Red Dawn (the original 1984 movie, obviously) and pulled a cover right out of the Cold War.
More than that, yer actual Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson (who recently said we might need to use nuclear weapons in the future if there were cuts made to the defence budget) has written for them exclusively today.
The Herald too have side-stepped the Growth Commission, relegating it to a smaller box on the cover.
They've led with the latest news on NHS Tayside, as it was revealed that NHS directors "put pressure" on the auditor over charity cash.
The Scotsman has led with the Growth Commission story too, HOWEVER...
None of that can hold a candle to our coverage today.
We have several exclusives on what will be revealed in the report. Have a read of them now:

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
