  • Is today's announcement from Scottish Labour too little, too late?

  • With numerous companies saying that they would leave Scotland if it became independent, what job opportunities would be available for my age group?

  • Does the panel believe that the BBC have been impartial in their coverage of the Scottish referendum?

  • With recent reported falls in North Sea oil revenues and associated tax receipts, would an independent Scotland be overly exposed to volatility in oil revenues?
