- Labour MP Rents Out Flat on Airbnb: The National exposes a Labour MP who reportedly utilises Airbnb to rent out his flat in Scotland while living primarily in London.

- MEPs Back Independent Scotland in EU: In a more positive story for The National’s pro-independence readership, the paper reports that some Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) have pledged their support for an independent Scotland rejoining the European Union.
