The right wing press's feverish attempts to take down Angela Rayner seem to be failing. What's the secret of Rayner's appeal and what does the future hold for Labour's combative Deputy Leader? Plus, the SNP in turmoil as Humza Yousaf's powerplay against the Greens goes badly wrong, forcing him to quit as Scotland's First Minister. Scottish writer Gerry Hassan unpacks it for us.

Power-sharing in the Scottish Parliament has collapsed after First Minister Humaza Yousaf ditched the SNP's coalition agreement with the Scottish Greens. We speak to author and political commentator Gerry Hassan.

The Union Jack represents many things for many people, linked to historical pride – but also shame. And, unfortunately, it's become somewhat synonymous with the political Right. So what is Labour's relationship with the flag? Andrew Harrison asks The People's Flag and the Union Jack: An Alternative History of Britain and the Labour Party co-author Gerry Hassan if Labour can reclaim Britishness.     • “I don't think anyone in the UK can be completely objective about the Union Jack. Flags are things we have emotional connections with. The Union Jack's meaning has evolved over centuries.” – Gerry Hassan  • “Lots of people say we have to either identify and feel pride in it, or loathe it – but it's important we allow for a polarity of meanings.” – Gerry Hassan  • “In our current age of culture wars, symbols really matter. And symbols like national flags are highly contested.” – Gerry Hassan  • “Flags are part of who we are as human beings.” – Gerry Hassan      Buy The People's Flag and the Union Jack: An Alternative History of Britain and the Labour Party through our affiliate bookshop and you'll help fund The Bunker by earning us a small commission for every sale.

Support for Scottish independence is still strong but the SNP are clearly in a weaker position, institutionally, reputationally, and ideologically. They have become mired in scandal, their hegemonic grip on politics north of the border looks to be loosening, and yet the constitutional questions about who governs Scotland and how remain relevant and live. Labour's position has clearly strengthened – albeit without ever addressing key questions of democratic renewal and constitutional change.With a UK general election less than a year away, especially while it looks like Labour could win power and form a majority, the context for the democratic left, the future of the UK and Scotland are changing – and with it how and how much the UK is bound together changes. What progressive and democratic reforms are feasible and desirable in this new context and how can the progressive democratic left work together are essential questions on either side of the independence case. To talk this through with us, Neal and Lena were joined by:Gerry Hassan is the author of several books on Scottish and British politics including ‘The Strange Death of Labour Scotland' and ‘The People's Flag and the Union Jack: An Alternative History of Britain and the Labour Party'.Esther Roberton, who was the coordinator of the Scottish Constitutional Convention in the 1990s and has spent more than three decades serving on and chairing national and regional boards across significant areas of policy including health, education and justice, as well as initiatives relating to the Scottish Parliament and as Non-Executive Director of the Scottish Government.Support the showEnjoyed the podcast and want to be a live audience member at our next episode?

Alex Forsyth presents political debate and discussion from the University of Surrey.

In this pod, our first live podcast recording, we discuss the state of the relationships between UK and Welsh/Scottish governments and the effect Brexit and the personalities of successive UK administrations has had on the effectiveness of government. We hosted this live event on the week that Gordon Brown produced his proposals for reforming the governance of the UK, so we discuss those proposals and how the Welsh dimension is addressed (or not). We also discuss the interim report from the Welsh Government's Independent Commission of the Constitutional Future of Wales and its decision to focus on three alternative visions for Wales: entrenched devolution, federalism, and independence. Ceri and Matt are joined by Prof Richard Wyn Jones of Cardiff University's Wales Governance Centre to discuss and answer questions from the audience, as well as reflect on our previous podcast on the Welsh and Scottish independence campaigns with Gerry Hassan, Will Hayward, and Jess Blair.

Our special guest this week is author and academic Gerry Hassan.  Gerry joined us in our studio to discuss some of the key ideas in his new book called Scotland Rising - the case for Independence (available at all good bookstores).   He explains how we can have a more nuanced discussion about Scottish independence if we realise that there are many ideas of Scotland and many ways of looking at the question.

Available at https://www.plutobooks.com/9780745347264/scotland-rising/   Gerry has great insight to Scottish politics and has very reasoned arguemets as to why Scotland needs it's independence back.

We are grateful to Voices for Scotland for allowing us to broadcast and share their excellent event with writer, journalist and modern historian, Gerry Hassan

Brewer Fails Marr Too Gove attracts Norry’s exasperation on Marr and the anodyne Brewer show annoys Stewart. Gerry Hassan gets a forensic attack by both for his Sunday National article. Iain MacWhirter gets a sore bottom again as his equivocal Sunday Herald article reveals the difference since Paul Hutcheon left.

The Scottish Labour Party's decline has been severe. How – if at all – can it claw back something like the support it once enjoyed? With 51% of Labour voters now backing independence, how should Scottish Labour respond? Join us as we discuss Scottish Labour, Independence, the SNP and the possible break-up of the UK with Scottish commentator and political author Gerry Hassan. Gerry is a regular contributor to Compass, and in his most recent blog for Compass suggests the formation of a new Labour Party in Scotland as a solution to these problems.

Twilight of the UnionFMQs at Holyrood began with Part2 of a stunt cooked up by the Tories. Part1 was the Oliver Mundell ‘point of order’ in the chamber accusing the FM of lying to Parliament about documents for the Salmond Inquiry. For Part2 Ruth Davidson used all her questions to challenge the FM about the ‘missing documents’ and it got heated.Norry and Stewart also get heated about the issue. Listen in. Other FMQ issues included students, test lab closure, job losses and parliamentary scrutiny of Covid measures.Also reviewed was Boris at PMQs by John Crace in the Guardian, Gerry Hassan on the Tory power grab and Professor Colin Kidd on the ‘Twilight of the Union’

The Frothy Rogue Nation Episode. The major issues, virus, law-breaking and power grabs by the Tories etc., facing us all this week, were largely missed by Andrew Marr and Gordon Brewer. Gordon, with a bout of ‘chlorinated chicken’ Tourettes faced Steven Barclay, the nominated Government ‘blocker’ for Scotland, but got nowhere. We mostly reviewed 2 important essays on the state of ‘Rogue UK’ by Gerry Hassan and Peter A Bell and then a London Times article by Alex Massie.(It’s frothy man!). The BBC excuse for silencing the First Minister was delivered by a slimy guy called Ian Small. We show the clip with John Beattie on The NINE. Finally some good news. Ewan McGregor now supports independence and we close with a clip which ends well.

In this edition of Book Talk, host Ryan Van Winkle talks to author Scott Westerfeld about steampunk and zeppelins, discusses the myths of modern Scotland with commentator and academic Gerry Hassan, and looks at how crime and science work together in fiction with Lin Anderson and Doctor Kathy Charles.Scott Westerfeld, author of the Uglies trilogy, gives an insight into how he researched and created the steampunk World War One setting of Leviathan. Loved by teenagers and military history buffs alike, the book showcases a world that blends accurate military detail with fantastic creations including airships made of whales.  Scott discusses the benefits of writing for a young adult audience. “Adult readers are very fragile and very easy to alarm and scare off, whereas teenagers are incredibly robust readers who can keep going. If you see a teenager who'd really into a book you could drop a brick on their head and they'll keep reading!”Gerry Hassan, commentator and academic in Cultural Policy discusses his latest book, Caledonian Dreaming: The Quest for a Different Scotland. Inspired by the work of Fintan O'Toole following the crash in Ireland, the book looks at the myths Hassan argues are inherent in Scottish identity. What are these stories we tell ourselves about modern Scotland and where did they come from?Finally, Ryan chats to crime writer Lin Anderson, creator of fictional forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod, and forensic psychologist Dr Kathy Charles about how crime and science work together in fiction.  Lin and Kathy discuss the use of psychology to develop strong characters, how to effectively depict the biological differences of psychopaths in fiction and the challenge of ensuring potential scenarios in the novel are scientifically plausible while keeping a novel entertaining. Podcast contents00:00-00:51  Introduction00:52-12:08  Scott Westerfeld interview12:09-22:26  Garry Hassan interview  22:27-32:05  Lin Anderson and Dr Kathy Charles interview

Apologies ...but the gremlins were in the Feisty works...this podcast with Gerry Hassan and Kenny Farquharson entitled the "obviously intelligent" podcast seems to have disappeared. So here it is back with all its talk of 'policy wonks' and others in the Scottish political life.

Glasgow 2020 has been a two year project of events facilitated by the UK think tank Demos. It has looked at how people in the city of Glasgow look at the future, using a variety of creative and imaginative processes in a mass imagination exercise. Just before Glasgow 2020 unveils its findings and resulting publication, join Gerry Hassan (who created and headed up the project) to examine some of the fascinating points that it uncovered. These range across a variety of areas covering specific Glasgow issues, wider factors about cities and the future, and such specifics as public engagement, public space and how government, public agencies and institutions think and act.
