As the General Election campaign enters a crucial stage we have had a week of twists and turns.
From manifesto launches to leader debates, there has been plenty for voters to contemplate.
Today our political correspondents Andrew Learmonth and Kathleen Nutt are hosting our weekly general election live stream on Facebook.
They will be joined by Herald columnist and former BBC Scotland Political Editor Brian Taylor as they discuss how the election campaign has developed this week.
And we'd love for you to join us.
From the dramatic poll predictions to candidates finding themselves entering controversial territory, this week has not disappointed.
Join Andrew and Kathleen with Brian in conversation on Facebook.
With a visit from Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer today and possibly the Prime Minister in the days ahead there is plenty to discuss.
Andrew and Kathleen will be speaking to Brian about how this election compares to the others he's covered, the SNP manifesto launch along with examining why the Tory campaign is in even more chaos than it was last week.
Join us on Facebook today: We go live at 2.05pm. 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
