There’s less than one week to go until the general election and the campaigns have entered the final straight.
We’ve had the manifestos, the debates, a plethora of polls and gaffe gifts to the media.
It all started with Rishi announcing the date in the rain – but what will we see as the finish line appears?
Today, The Herald’s political correspondents Andrew Learmonth and Kathleen Nutt are hosting our weekly general election live stream on Facebook.
Going live at just after noon, Andrew and Kathleen will be taking you through the election campaign week.
They’ll be talking about our latest exclusive poll, the gambling scandal and the Tory manifesto launch.
The team will also turn their expert eye on the growing postal votes row. Are Scots being disenfranchised?
We'd love for you to 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
