THE SNP has launched a new website as part of its independence campaign.
On the same day on which Nicola Sturgeon updated Holyrood on the next steps towards a second referendum on Scottish independence, her party has made the website Yes.scot live.

"Yes.scot is the SNP’s exciting new online portal for the independence campaign," said SNP depute leader Keith Brown.
"Our vision is of a dynamic one-stop resource, designed to empower campaigners with all the resources they will need to win more and more people over and build a majority for independence."
The website has a promo video as part of it's home page, with other sections reserved for encouraging visitors to the page to register their support or donate to the cause.
Below that is several pieces of information and resources on how you can help spread the word.
The website states that the immediate objective of the the party is next month's EU elections before they turn their attention to "building an independence majority".

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
