Scotland are going to the World Cup — and the Holyrood Sources team are buzzing. But after the celebrations, Geoff, Andy and Calum dig into a huge week in Scottish and UK politics.
➡️ ExxonMobil shuts Mossmorran, putting 400 jobs at risk — Geoff explains why government policy has directly contributed and why this marks a deeper de-industrialisation crisis in Scotland.
➡️ Fresh YouGov polling reveals a dramatic collapse in support for Scottish Labour and a worrying ceiling for the SNP. Andy breaks down why a populist insurgency could now happen in Scotland.
➡️ Pam Duncan-Glancy MSP joins the podcast to explain why she opposes the Assisted Dying Bill — and why key safeguards have been rejected.
Scotland’s biggest politics podcast — with insider analysis from across the political divide. Hosted by Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein (former Chief of Staff to Alex Salmond) and Andy Maciver (former Director of Comms, Scottish Conservatives).
