Nicola Sturgeon’s new book is causing controversy. On this episode of Holyrood Sources, Geoff Aberdein - former Chief of Staff to Alex Salmond - directly challenges several claims, including:

• Did Alex Salmond really leak allegations against himself?
• Was Salmond disengaged from the 2013 independence White Paper?
• Did he oppose same-sex marriage?

Geoff says these stories are “falsehoods and fabrications” — and sets the record straight.

Later, Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein, and Andy Maciver (former Director of Comms, Scottish Conservatives) debate:

• The fallout for John Swinney as Sturgeon’s book dominates headlines
• What rising concern over immigration means for Scottish politics
• Energy bills, community power, and whether Scotland is missing its renewable energy jackpot
• James Hawes’ claim that Scottish independence is “inevitable”
