A gun, ammunition and cash linked to organised crime sit at the centre of The Scottish Sun's most-watched new upload. Its report on convicted jewellery thief Jason Britton's Glasgow arrest drew about 35,000 views, the largest audience among the week's fifteen uploads.

The report traces the case from the arrest near Glasgow's Hilton hotel back to Britton's earlier conviction for the Argyll Arcade jewellery heist. Court images, arrest-scene photographs and archive surveillance footage carry the account. The accompanying description reports that Britton received five years and three months in prison.

Holyrood supplied another substantial part of the week. SNP committee convener David Linden questioned First Minister John Swinney about why parliamentarians learnt of the disturbance at HMP Polmont through news reports. A separate upload covered Labour's challenge over the withdrawal of support for bus manufacturer Alexander Dennis and promises to protect manufacturing jobs.

The freshest momentum comes from a debate over Reform UK's proposed ban on public face coverings. That report is currently drawing views faster than the other uploads, followed by coverage of a police vehicle targeted with fireworks in Glasgow and the Alexander Dennis exchange.

Subscribers were unchanged over the week, while today's viewing is below the channel's usual daily level. Among nearby news channels, Daily Express and ET Now World attracted much larger weekly audiences. The Scottish Sun's weekly views were closer to Storyful News & Weather's, with its own audience spread across court reporting, parliamentary questions and street disorder.
