The Lesley Riddoch Podcast

After all the speculation about the shape of Humza Yousaf's Cabinet it's here.
We discuss who's in, who's out and the potential for rebellion from the Gang of 15, maybe 18, Kate Forbes supporting MSPs.
We also take a closer look at the Green tail wagging the SNP dog narrative.
Battle lines are being drawn up and strategies developed for the next General Election. How will all the parties play it? Tacit Tory and Labour agreements? And what about the SNP in light of a probable Labour victory?
Sanna Marin's Social Democrats came a narrow third in the recent Finnish elections. Lesley examines this result, its implications, and Finland becoming a member of NATO.
And we can't let Donald Trump being charged with falsifying business records and facing trial over his hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels just before the 2016 election go unmentioned.
