SNP launch new 'Yes' independence campaign as they fight back against 'laughable scaremongering'
The Scottish National Party have launched a 'Yes' campaign to 'empower' the case for independence

The Scottish National Party have launched a "Yes" campaign to "empower" the case for independence.
The campaign was first launched in 2014 in a bid to "pave the way for an independent Scotland".
In a fight against "laughable scaremongering", the party is launching new independence campaign resources on the Yes Scotland website.
This includes new leaflets and a question and answer section about independence.

Earlier this week, the founder of a grassroots group called for the Yes movement to reach out beyond social media.
Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp launched Believe in Scotland which is a democratic coalition of 142 local and national Yes groups managed by a steering group.
His appeal said: "We have to realise that there is no movement, no momentum if most members of the movement are just stuck on social media talking to themselves.
"Most of the people and even organisations that consider themselves part of the movement never talk to anyone outside of the movement. Yet they maintain a high profile within the movement – but anonymity without.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
"The independence movement is way too connected to and too dependent upon political parties to make the running.
"Only the grassroots can move the polls but the grassroots are forever waiting for the politicians to drive things – politicians don't make waves, they ride them."
The group recently raised more than £88,000 in a one-month fundraising campaign.
According to the Yes campaign website, the scheme will "rebut scaremongering theories."

"These are the tools which will empower us all to make the case for independence, and rebut some of the ludicrous and laughable scaremongering theories opposition parties continue peddle."
The Believe in Scotland campaign plans next year include rallies in both Glasgow and Edinburgh
