Week 9, 2020: A victory for the Greens
Thursday Feb 27, 2020
Thursday Feb 27, 2020
It’s the week when the Greens scored a rare victory, securing assurances from the SNP to look at providing free bus travel for the under 19s – and there was more environmental wrangling as the third runway at Heathrow got a grilling at First Minister’s Questions. Plus, we ask again how truly family-friendly Holyrood is, and whether some people were right for branding a drag queen with risqué social media posts reading to primary school kids anything but family friendly.
Join journalists from across the DC Thomson Media folio of newspapers, and from all across the country, to help you understand the implications of what’s happening in Holyrood, Westminster and beyond.

Week 8, 2020: Would you get into the UK if the points system was implemented?
Thursday Feb 20, 2020
Thursday Feb 20, 2020
It’s the week that the SNP’s visa proposals suddenly look like a bit of smart politics, as the UK’s points-based immigration controls pitch has gone down like a cup of cold sick in Scotland. Would you get in if the UK government’s proposals were implemented? Take our test to find out: https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/politics/uk-politics/1154632/points-based-immigration-would-you-be-allowed-into-the-uk-under-the-new-rules-take-the-test-now/
Plus, thoughts are turning to a post-Sturgeon SNP, as an apparent power struggle emerges between Angus Robertson and Joanna Cherry. Join journalists from across the DC Thomson Media folio of newspapers, and from all across the country, to help you understand the implications of what’s happening in Holyrood, Westminster and beyond.

Thursday Feb 13, 2020
Thursday Feb 13, 2020
It’s reshuffle day, and it’s one of the bloodiest we can remember. With the shock resignation of Chancellor of the Exchequer Sajid Javid and the appointment of a little-known political figure to arguably the second-highest job in the country, and lots more to chew over, join journalists from across the DC Thomson Media folio of newspapers, and from all across the country, to help you understand what Johnson’s – Cummings’? – reshuffle means for you.

Week 6, 2020: The budget – overshadowed by scandal
Friday Feb 07, 2020
Friday Feb 07, 2020
It was supposed to be the week in which we discussed the SNP’s budget, and so we moved our usual recording slot from after First Minister’s Questions on a Thursday to today, to give us time to pore over the figures. As it happened, there was much more to discuss than the Scottish government’s spending plans, as it emerged just before Finance Minister Derek Mackay was due to deliver his budget that he had been sending inappropriate messages to a 16 year-old schoolboy. Join journalists from across the DC Thomson Media folio of newspapers, and from all across the country, to help you understand all this, plus the ferries scandal, rumours Ruth Davidson is on the honours list, and more.
