In this episode of Holyrood Sources, Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein, and Andy Maciver take you inside the 2026 Scottish Parliamentary election. We analyse the newest IPSOS Scottish Political Monitor results with Mark McGeoghegan, exploring why the Reform UK vote is the ultimate "spoiler" for Labour and the Conservatives.

Calum, Geoff and Andy also reflect on Holyrood Sources: The Interviews, which you can listen back to or watch on YouTube now! We look at the u-turn that made the political headlines and ask which of the party leaders stood out on the night. The guys also tackle the big policy and election headlines of the week:

• Energy: The Treasury’s refusal to scrap the windfall tax despite a £17.5B investment offer.
• Manifestos: Russell Findlay’s vision for the Scottish Tories.
• Infrastructure: John Swinney’s £10M island business fund vs. the ongoing CalMac ferry crisis.
