Humza Yousaf: The First Few Days

Calum, Geoffrey and Andrew - apparently we're using Sunday names on this episode - assess Humza Yousaf's first few days. Kate Forbes, and her campaign manager Ivan McKee, have left government having been offered lesser jobs. Andrew and Geoffrey assess whether this is a bold sense of direction from Yousaf, or whether it's a mistake. They consider how businesses will feel, as well as the 48% of SNP members who backed Kate in the leadership contest. We consider what might come next for Kate Forbes. Plus, what're the roles of high profiles names on the backbenches - how loud will Forbes, Regan and Sturgeon be? Plus, the Green Dog comes up again - to what extent has the Green influence already created problems for Yousaf? And, what does he need to do to win over the people of Scotland?
