Yes Alba name stooshie
Johnson's premiership coat on a shaky peg?
BiFab administration a sign of SNP lack of an industrial strategy?
Kate and Will's trip to Scotland.A misguided tour?
he big story in indy circles this week has been the stooshie over the name for the grass roots indy group set up after the AUOB online conference and the composition of its newly elected committee.
Was calling it Yes Alba a serious misjudgement and was it right to label the committee as " male , pale and stale"?
Last night saw ,yet another, series of votes on Brexit.This time on the Lords' amendments to the Internal Market Bill.
The deadline for getting some sort of trade deal with the EU is also looming.
We try and work out what significance these recent events have in terms of Boris Johnson's premiership, devolution, and independence.
State aid rules are one of the sticking points in these final days of Brexit negotiations and these were brought into sharp focus by the announcement that BiFab was going into administration with claims by both the Scottish and UK governments that EU state aid rules had scuppered any moves to save it.
Lesley examines those assertions and questions the will of the Scottish government to intervene by taking the firm into state control.
All this plus a wee tribute to a bonnie fechter for Scottish independence Craig Munro, Peter Alliss,and other lost voices of radio.
