YOU still have a chance to subscribe to The National for a whole YEAR for just £20 – as we are extending our subscription special offer amid a huge day for Scottish politics.
Our deal was set to end today. However, with First Minister Humza Yousaf having resigned, the contest is now under way to find a new SNP leader and first minister.
With such a busy political news agenda on the cards, we have taken the decision to extend our special offer until 11.59pm on Friday night.

That means until midnight on Friday, you can secure a year of access to The National – our exclusive reporting, top range of columnists and wide range of puzzles accessible through our website – for just £20.
The National’s editor Laura Webster said: “Extending our offer wasn’t a decision taken lightly but the latest political developments are of huge significance to our readership.
“There are major implications for the independence movement and for the governance of Scotland.
“Given our unique place in the Scottish media, we want to give as many people as possible the chance to subscribe to our reporting to get ahead of the game.
“You won’t want to miss out on our exclusives and thorough reporting and analysis of what’s to come – with unrivalled coverage of breaking news from a Scottish perspective.”

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
