This week I am part of the launch of Our Future Our Choice Scotland; the first nation-wide youth People’s Vote campaign.

If the EU elections today prove anything, then it’s the maxim that divided parties don’t win elections. Added to that, there’s the other cardinal rule that if you don’t know what you’re for, then neither will the voter.

Nicola Sturgeon has accused Ruth Davidson of transforming into an “arch-Brexiteer” as the Scottish Conservative leader is “cosying up to Boris Johnson”.

Nicola Sturgeon was today accused of "brow beating" people until "decisions go her way".

The idea that Scotland should keep its options open on what currency to use after independence rather than deciding beforehand is “perfectly sensible”, Nicola Sturgeon has said.

The SNP will vote against Theresa May’s deal in a bid to stop Brexit, Nicola Sturgeon has pledged.

An independent Scotland would be welcomed with “open arms” by the EU, Nicola Sturgeon has said.

Nicola Sturgeon has called on voters to use Thursday’s European election to show Scotland is “open for business” as she warned of the “catastrophic” impact leaving the single market could have on the economy.

Gordon Brown will today warn that the SNP and the Conservatives are locked in a “non-stop Punch and Judy Show” that is wreaking havoc and could lead to 50 years of division in Scotland.

Nicola Sturgeon has signalled that her timetable for a second independence referendum before 2021 will remain if the UK chooses to stay in the EU.

Kevan Christie notes the lack of Elgar, jam roly-poly and Union Jack waistcoats in The Scotsman’s office – contrary to the picture painted by some on social media.

Single-issue politics like Brexit and independence is divisive and making people angry, writes Jim Duffy.

Nicola Sturgeon feels like the adult in the room amid sound and fury over allegations of bullying against Joanna Cherry, writes Laura Waddell.

Depuis bientôt 750 ans, la relation entre la France et l’Ecosse a toujours constitué une singularité dans l’apparent chaos du revirement des alliances et des guerres civiles européennes qui ont meurtri notre continent pendant des siècles.

For some 750 years, the relationship between France and Scotland has stood firm, despite the apparent chaos of ever-changing alliances and European civil wars that have bruised our continent over the centuries.

Alistair Darling has said that he is “not really convinced” by plans to adopt a separate currency in the event of Scottish independence.

Some No voters can now imagine Scotland breaking away from the UK, crossing a huge psychological line in their head and their hearts, writes Ayesha Hazarika.

A journalist who worked at the BBC has claimed that the corporation had an inherent ‘lack of sympathy’ for Scottish independence and a ‘lack of in-depth knowledge’ about the country during the 2014 referendum.
