Summary
In this explosive edition of Storming Sources, David McCann, Tim Kerns, and Michael McKernan break down a historic week that has reshaped British and Irish politics. We are joined by Andy Maciver and Calum Macdonald from the Holyrood Sources podcast to analyse the 2026 Scottish and Welsh election results. With Nationalist First Ministers now leading in Scotland (John Swinney), Wales (Rhun ap Iorwerth), and Northern Ireland (Michelle O’Neill), is the United Kingdom facing an existential crisis? Topics covered: The Scottish Verdict: The SNP secures a 5th term but loses seats. The Welsh Earthquake: Plaid Cymru ends 100 years of Labour dominance. The Starmer Survival Watch: With Wes Streeting mulling a leadership challenge and Labour support collapsing across the UK, how long has Keir Starmer got left in Number 10? UUP Internal Wars: Is Doug Beattie facing deselection? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
