"SNP backbenchers are revolting!" That's a joke, you see, because some of them rebelled in a parliamentary vote, as did a Minister. Plus: did you know there were new rules about fireworks? Us neither! We talk SNP splits and government publicity. Enjoy!

On a momentus day in Scotland for trans rights, as the Gender Recognition Reform Bill clears stage 1 at the Scottish Parliament, we have a recent Women In Public Affairs Scotland interview with campaigner and NUS Scotland president Ellie Gomersall. Enjoy!

This week, the First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, appeared before the Convenors Group of the Scottish Parliament. What's that all about then?

Trussed up like a Prime Minister: will our new PM stick to the Tories' mandated menu or serve up something less palatable and, either way, how do we ease Scotland's constitutional constipation?

We're back after our summer break to skip once more through the flower-bedecked Elysian fields of Scottish politics. Or at least to take the High Road to get to Scottish politics afore ye. Or something. Enjoy!

Should the SNP be calling pest control? Is the First Minister's sense of good judgement all it's cracked up to be? Plus, strikes, Mick Lynch and whether some journalists are treating the public like mugs. Enjoy!

This week we talk to Councillor Graeme Downie, recently elected to the West Fife and coastal villages ward in Fife, about all things local government. Enjoy!
