Show Notes

It's the third anniversary of Brexit. Why is there such silence on its negative economic impact? Why no voices from Scotland or Northern Ireland in the media?
To counteract this Time for Scotland will have a torchlit procession to the Scottish Parliament to keep the lights on for Scotland in the EU.
There's still time to sign up for the rally tonight. Full details below

We examine those economic hits to the UK and Scottish economy and why it's so important to keep on saying we didn't want or vote for Brexit.
We also look at the Zahawi affair and what it says about the Tory Party as a narrative begins to shape that this, and other ethical scandals are simply all hangovers from the Boris Johnson era not emblematic of the current Tory administration.
The Tories are also hoping that, despite the most recent opinion polls, Sunak will be able to pull off a John Major 1992 great escape. But is this more like 1997?
As the Conservatives prepare the bonfire of EU legislation, they seem very keen to stress the European nature of their new Minimum Service trade union legislation. Does this stand up to any detailed scrutiny?
We also try and resolve the great Scotch Bonnet, mushroom or chili pepper controversy
