Week 6, 2020: The budget – overshadowed by scandal
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.
