The general election campaigns are in full swing as the major parties vie for votes and seats across Scotland and the UK.
Each day has brought twists and turns and The Herald has been at the heart of the action bringing unrivalled coverage of the race to No 10.
Today, our political correspondents Andrew Learmonth and Kathleen Nutt are hosting our first ever general election live stream on Facebook, and we'd love for you to join us.
They'll be speaking to expert pollster Mark Diffley about the election playing out before our eyes.
Take part in the conversation on Facebook
Andrew and Kathleen cover the manifesto launches, debates, the graft, grift and gaffes we've seen on the campaign trail in the weeks up to now — and look ahead to what's coming next week.
We're expecting the Scottish parties to hare their manifestos, and possibly visits from the Prime Minister and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer in the days to come.
But there are bound to be unexpected developments and new angles every day, and our politics team will read the runes on how the campaigns may go from here.
Join us on Facebook today: We go live at 12.05pm.
Watch here.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
