At the start of the pandemic in March we took the decision to make online access to our news free of charge by taking down our paywall. At a time where accurate information about Covid-19 was vital to our community, this was the right decision – even though it meant a drop in our income.

Sir Tom Hunter. SIR TOM Hunter has declared that now is not the time to hold a second referendum on Scottish independence, and called on the leadership at Holyrood to prove they can use the administration’s devolved powers to improve the country’s fortunes. Speaking three years after Scotland voted to remain part of the United Kingdom, the entrepreneur and philanthropist said he believes that constitutional change “should not be on the table” at present. Sir Tom, whose Hunter Foundation offered impartial advice during the 2014 referendum debate, said: “I would say that it is gone for now, and that is correct. We had our debate, and it was a very good debate. It was a very inclusive debate. I was very proud of the way Scotland handled that debate, and we got a decision. I’m not saying it is away forever, but just now is the wrong time, and it is the wrong focus for Scotland to have another independence debate today.”

FUTURE OF EDUCATION
The debate featured YES’s current ambassadors who work to positively support the organisation’s aims of making Scotland a place where all young people are given the opportunity to have a rewarding future in work and life. Today’s young people are tomorrow’s entrepreneurs - they will be the ones driving Scotland’s economy in future decades. But to do so, they need the right support and the right mindset, and developing these qualities starts in the classroom.
