Nicola Sturgeon blew £250,000 of your money on an independence court case she knew she’d lose while starving vital public services of funds.

Under the SNP, taxpayers pay more and get less. It’s time to end their waste and focus on Scotland’s real priorities.

80 years since victory in the Pacific, we remember the bravery that brought the war to an end.

We honour those who fought. We must never forget their service and the service of all those who have come since.

Does the bureaucratic process of registering a marriage deter people from marrying?

Or should a longer process remain to deter ill-considered and impulsive decisions to marry and emphasise the gravity of the commitment?

Discuss!
