Listen Later

This week on What’s the Point? North Lanarkshire’s political drama hits boiling point or a mild boil.The Aquatec leisure centre in Motherwell is marked for closure buried in committee papers with a delayed webcast, outlandish costs, and no resistance at committee from any of the so called opposition.Meanwhile, the NLC SNP Group cries “anti-democratic!” not in the chamber but on Facebook, yet every one of them still happily accepts a wage enhancement from the Labour administration. Opposition on the books… And in national news, Anas Sarwar stepped up to challenge the PM— or did he? Was this a principled stand or a spectacular own goal? Should he resign as Scottish Labour Leader?We unpack all this and more, unfiltered, unafraid, and on air.📻 Listen live Tuesdays 7PM on 107.7FM (Listen Lanarkshire)📲 Catch the podcast Thursdays on Spotify, Apple, and all major platforms🎥 TikTok/YouTube: @whats.the.point.p#aquatech #NorthLanarkshire #AnasSarwar #snp #labour #counciltax #scottishpolitics #whatsthepoint
