The Defining Moment of Devolution

In our last episode before the result of the SNP leadership contest is known, Andy, Geoff and Calum discuss the importance of this moment in Scotland's history. Alongside that, we consider whether the candidates have changed direction based on new knowledge. How can the two leading candidates work with the party should they win? The next two to three weeks after the election are crucial, says Geoff. Winning the leadership is one thing but appealing to the public is another. Who would Andy and Geoff rather be at this point: Humza Yousaf or Kate Forbes? What will the role be for John Swinney - is he the person to unite the party behind the new leader? And what of Nicola Sturgeon's legacy - today is her last session at First Minister's Questions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
