With some recent polls predicting the SNP and Conservatives will be reduced to a rump of MPs at the General Election on Thurs 4th July, Bernard and Alex have a health warning for pollsters and politicians alike. Can these polls be trusted and do they have the nuance to pick up on constituency level sentiments?
Plus, it was the issue the Democrats didn't want to face up to but after a challenging and unedifying televised debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden in the US. The Democrats can no longer avoid their choice of candidate for the Presidential race.

Bernard and Alex discuss the SNP's electoral chances and what the election result means to the SNP's cause of independence. They are joined by former SNP MSP, investigative journalist and life-long independence campaigner, Dorothy-Grace Elder who doesn't hold back in her criticism of John Swinney.
DGE describes John Swinney as a "Sturgeonista" who "slides and slithers" and "is very much an acolyte of whoever sat on him last". She continues "I think you need Dynorod in to that [SNP] front bench".
What do you think abut the SNP's prospects at the General Election? Let us know.
