TWELVE years after the independence referendum it's extraordinary there's still just one newspaper supporting and exploring the political future half of Scotland wants to see.
It's a bit of a family, with all the minor ructions a family tends to produce. But The National is more than that – it's also the only paper that reliably highlights popular causes from Gaza to land reform with a diversity of voices that appears nowhere else in the Scottish daily press.
After all these years, there are just a few ads and so many shops from high streets to hospitals who don't stock it – so our subscriptions keep the only daily pro-independence newspaper afloat.
It's just £20 for a whole lot of comment, news and analysis. If you can manage, do please lend your support.
