STURGEON ON SALMOND

On Nicola Sturgeon's Criticism of Alex Salmond and His Family's Response“Telling the truth is now considered an attack and something that should be forbidden or locked away in a box.”“Nicola Sturgeon’s Financial Times interview was more candid than her ‘measured’ statements to Parliament – did she conceal critical details?”On Reform UK and Scottish Politics:“2025 will be the year of Reform UK… Farage emboldens his raison d’être as mainstream parties feed his populist agenda.”“Thomas Kerr’s defection exposes dark, shadowy forces behind Scottish Tory leadership – a symptom of a party in freefall.”On Rachel Reeves and Labour:“Rachel Reeves isn’t just struggling; whispers about her future might turn into howls if Labour can’t deliver growth.”“Reeves and Starmer’s economic strategies betray their lip service to growth – they’re politicians of expediency, not vision.”On Trump’s Return:“Expect headlines, nonsense, and contradictory entertainment – and for the sensible, a whole lot of worry.”“Buying Greenland, tariffs on all imports, and re-nationalism – Trump’s policies evoke the chaotic politics of a century ago.”On Biden’s Presidency:“Biden was a stop-Trump president, and Trump is returning. By that definition alone, Biden’s presidency is a monumental failure.”“A tawdry end to Biden’s legacy: pardoning his son cuts through the nobility of public service.”Focussing on UK, Scottish and Global politics, if you like other great political podcasts like The Rest is Politics, The News Agents, Newscast, Questions Time, Holyrood Sources, Planet Holyrood, The Stooshie, The Steamie, Scotcast, Americast etc etc then The Ponsonby and Massie Podcast could be a great show to add to your list of favourites.
