## Resource

On today's episode of Holyrood Sources, Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein and Andy Maciver are joined by Scottish Labour MSP, Paul Sweeney to discuss the shock news that Anas Sarwar is set to resign to join new PM Andy Burnham's team in Westminster. What will Sarwar's departure mean for Scottish Labour and the UK Labour Party overall. Has Sarwar blindsided his Holyrood colleagues by accepting a job out of the blue? And what kind of leader is Burnham going to be, now he is officially the top dog in Westminster? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
