“Look a bit more like German Basic Law”

@DJforEdS suggests that the UK should move away from UK exit mechanisms and instead build a permanent devolved settlement defining clear constitutional rights and obligations between the nations and the UK.

“I’m not asking you to speculate, I’m asking what Scottish Labour’s policy is… and it sounds like there isn’t one.”

@calumAM challenges @DJforEdS on what powers should be devolved from the UK Government to Scotland, under the SNP Government.

“She was quite nasty to them”

@akmaciver suggests that John Swinney will achieve independence by attracting the centre-ground and highlighting ways that an independent Scotland could leave voters better off.

“We need to be turbocharging our efforts”

@geoffaberdein explains why he thinks that Jackdaw is so important as part of a transition to renewables… but why he thinks that at the moment it’s not possible for Scotland to run entirely on green energy.

A view from inside Scotland’s civil service

@calumAM reads a message sent into the podcast from a senior figure within Scotland’s civil service.

They claim that they are forced to work in outdated and dysfunctional offices, and that the Scottish Government’s recruitment freeze has created a situation where there are few prospects for growth.
