Summary
In this episode of Holyrood Sources, Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein, and Andy Maciver dive into the most heated moment of the campaign so far: the Channel 4 leaders' debate. We break down the explosive exchange between Scottish Labour’s Anas Sarwar and Reform UK’s Malcolm Offord , and ask if the alleged "backroom deal" has any basis in reality. In this episode: The Debate Fallout: Was the Sarwar-Offord clash a turning point or just "petulent nonsense"? Polling Deep Dive: We analyse the latest YouGov MRP poll —is an SNP majority of 67 seats actually possible? Manifesto Week: Breaking down the key pledges from Scottish Labour and the Scottish Greens . The "Battle Bus" Myth: Geoff reveals why you rarely see leaders actually traveling on their branded buses. Listener Questions: From the UK’s counter-argument for independence to the journey of a barrel of North Sea oil. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
