It was some 72 hours in British politics beginning with the resignation as an MP on Friday by Boris Johnson,Nicola Sturgeon being arrested on Sunday, and the internal Tory Party fall out over Johnson's honours list
We try and pick through all this beginning,naturally, with the latest on Nicola Sturgeon and analyse the reaction not just from the media but from within the SNP with calls for her party membership to be suspended.
Meanwhile at Holyrood Lorna Slater announced the delay of DRS until October 2025 claiming the scheme had been sabotaged by the UK government. While some Yessers argue over who's to blame, Lesley suggests that the real point is that,once again, the will of the Scottish Parliament in a devolved area has been thwarted by an increasingly hostile Tory Party.
Despite our distaste we had to plunge into the mire of the Johnson honours list,the roll call of supporters and sycophants ennobled in it,and the reaction(Yes you Nadine Dorries) of those whose promised peerages disappeared.
All this plus an update on Lesley's "Thrive" tour,and some other meanderings. ★ Support this podcast ★
