As many readers here will know, I write for The National in Scotland, which is the only pro-independence newspaper in that country.
I am proud to do so and to discuss the economics that might underpin Scotland as an independent country, which I think it should be, free from the toxic influence of Westminster.
In that case, I have a favour to ask. Might you consider subscribing to The National, even if you are not Scottish, as I am not?
There are good reasons to do so:
- You will get journalism that shatters the Westminster perspective on what is going on in the UK as a whole
- You will get some of the best international journalism you will find anywhere. The National has stood out for its coverage of Gaza, for example, as well as on other issues.
- You will get solidly left-of-centre opinion pieces.
- And this is the only paper you will find that regularly publishes modern monetary theory-based economic commentary, which it embraces as editorial policy.

Subscriber since last year, finding your recommendation good. It is refreshing and invigorating.
Thanks
Worth a try for £1 for 3 months, then £6.99 a month if you think it’s worth it. I like what they are trying to do north of the border. More socialist than the blue Labour party here. I look forward to reading it over the coming months.
£20 a year is better.
