Show Notes

Two inquiry reports and a vote of no confidence in two days. We examine the events of the last 48 hours and their implications not just for Nicola Sturgeon but their impact on the SNP and the May Holyrood elections. 

The First Minister has survived but has she been  politically and personally damaged? 

The Tories look,once again, to be the main party of opposition in those elections. How credible is their strategy  of making that campaign all about character given the antics of the Johnson government?

We also examine the attempts to woo Scots back to the union with the appointment of Prince William as Lord High Commisioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland,all things flags, and why some folk, the Labour Party in particular, have such a problem with the Scots language.
