Kaye asks whether you would refuse a pay rise.

Many MPs have said they will not accept a pay rise. Kaye asks whether that is the decent thing to do and if you would do the same.

MPs are in line for a seven and a half thousand pound pay rise but party leaders have roundly condemned it and many MPs say they won't accept it. Kaye asks: Is that the decent thing to do? And would you refuse a payrise?

The deaths of three people in a crash on the A9 make this the second fatal incident this month on the notorious road, and has prompted renewed calls for the A9 to be fully dualled.
The Scottish Government has committed to starting work in 2015 with completion scheduled for 2025. Kaye asks: What's to be done about the A9 in the meantime?

And finally... A Scot who has invented a pair of solar power headphones is raising money to get his project off the ground using a crowdfunding site. Kaye finds out what crowdfunding actually is.
