The Lesley Riddoch Podcast

Joanna Cherry sacked
Controversy at SNP NEC
Launch of latest Nations film- Estonia the Baltic Tiger

Show Notes

Today saw the removal of Joanna Cherry from her front bench role in Westminster .

This came hard on the heels of the  controversial leaking of the procedures of yesterday's meeting of the SNP.

Alex Salmond is also due to appear at the Holyrood inquiry into the Scottish government's handling of the complaints made against him which saw him acquitted of all charges.

We try and make sense of all these events in terms of what they mean for the individuals involved, the SNP, and the prospects for Scottish independence given the impending elections.

Lesley launched her latest movie in the Nations series last night, Estonia The Baltic Tiger. We discuss what lessons can be learned from this wee nation which regained its independence in 1991.

You can watch the film on Youtube  here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqLJA7sXD-c
