It’s the week in which there was a huge stooshie over exams. Wait, wasn’t that last week? Five years after promising to make education her top priority, and amid Scotland’s fall in league tables in key subjects, Nicola Sturgeon’s Education Minister bowed to pressure to change this year’s exam results. We hear what the impact of the uncertainty has been on Scotland’s pupils, listen in on Ruth Davidson’s return to the chamber, and discover the latest on former SNP leader Alex Salmond.

We explain why, and the fallout from the move, as well as discussing the Chancellor’s visit to Scotland, the reimposed lockdown in Aberdeen, the new Scottish Conservative leader, and more.
