The power of local
The local elections are upon us and we ask how democratic Scottish local government actually is. We examine the performances of Sir Keir Starmer and Anas Sarwar and question their electoral strategies both in Scotland and England.

Lesley Riddoch show
Zero ratings? I stumbled upon this from my U.S. west coast home and thoroughly enjoyed the discussion. Nae doubt, as I listen more and learn more about Lesley Riddoch and her co-presenter, there will be some I like and some not so much. I do remember seeing a copy of Harpies & Quines way back in the 90s and maybe that was where I first heard her name.
