Humza Yousaf narrowly defeated Kate Forbes to become the new leader of the SNP and First Minister.
We look back at the campaign, the result itself, the platform he stood and speculate on how he can re-unite the party, invigorate the broader Yes movement and advance the cause of independence.
We also compare and contrast his moving tribute to his migrant grandparents, and how their story inspires his commitment to social and economic justice , with the continuing Westminster disgrace of the Illegal Migration Bill.
Lesley looks at the bold agenda being pursued by Labour's Mark Drakeford in Wales, working in cooperation with Plaid Cymru, and asks what lessons both the Scottish Government and Scottish Labour could learn from this.
