In this episode of the Holyrood Sources podcast we focus on the recent welfare reforms announced by the UK government and their implications for Scotland. We discuss the challenges faced by the Scottish government in managing its budget amidst these reforms, the economic inactivity among young people, and the political dynamics between the SNP and Labour Party. The conversation highlights the impact of welfare on society and the need for economic growth, while also considering the future landscape of Scottish politics as several key figures announce their plans to step down. In this conversation, the speakers discuss the challenges faced by the SNP in attracting diverse candidates for political positions, the need for reform in the political selection process, and the pressing issues surrounding energy transition and economic growth in Scotland.
