In this Holyrood Sources special, the team sit down with Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar ahead of the upcoming election.

Sarwar outlines a "boldly different" vision for Scotland, addressing the growing crisis in the NHS, the decline in Scottish education, and the future of clean nuclear energy. He responds to tough questions on the Grangemouth refinery, the procurement of buses from China over Scottish firms, and his public call for Keir Starmer to resign.

Is Scottish Labour truly different from the SNP? Can Anas Sarwar move from opposition to Bute House?

In this episode:

NHS Emergency: The plan to ramp up operations and let "money follow the patient."

Education Crisis: Addressing the 19% drop in ASN teachers and banning mobile phones in classrooms.

Industry & Jobs: The fallout at Alexander Dennis and the future of North Sea energy.

The Starmer Dynamic: Why Sarwar stood by his call for the PM to step down.
