This week on Whitehall Sources, we take you behind the door of Number 10 Downing Street and discuss Britzerland. It's Brexit-related and it's all about The Chequers Deal: what is it, what does it mean, why is it back four years after it was first discussed, and what should it do to the messaging around Brexit policy from here on? Kirsty Buchanan - who was a Special Adviser to Prime Minister Theresa May - and Oscar Reddrop - who was a Special Adviser to Boris Johnson - discuss their different strategies on Brexit, and how to deal with the Conservative Party. Also on this week's episode, we're joined by Luke Graham who worked in the Union Unit of Number 10 Downing Street. He tells us about its purpose, his "robust conversations" and getting annoyed at Nicola Sturgeon. He and Calum also enjoy being able to discuss "dualling the A9" which is likely a campaign you can all now get behind. As we open the door to The Correspondence Unit, Sam wants to know how to become a Special Adviser so Kirsty tells him to work hard and Oscar tells him to go to the pub. We discuss the intersection of politics and sport as the World Cup in Qatar continues, and players are apparently too scared to protest effectively. Plus Calum gets angry about the government media "round" once again. But is he right to?

Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, says the next national election will be a de facto vote on Scottish independence after the Supreme Court's landmark decision on indyref2. The UK's highest court concluded that the Scottish Parliament does not have the power to hold a second independence referendum. It's a defining moment for the union, establishing a constitutional precedent with ripple effects that could be felt for years to come.Tristan Kirk, the Evening Standard's Courts Correspondent, explains how the Supreme Court reached its decision. In part two, our Deputy Political Editor, David Bond, examines the political fallout from this landmark ruling. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Supreme Court judges have decided unanimously that an Indyref2 vote cannot go ahead without the UK parliament's permission. But it's not the end of the debate – or Scotland's First Minister's fight to break free from Great Britain. On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson looks at what the judgment means both politically and legally with our Scotland correspondent Connor Gillies. Plus, reaction from both sides of the debate as we speak to Kevin Hague, chair of pro-union think tank These Islands, and Lesley Riddoch, columnist for Scottish papers The Herald and The National, who supports Scottish independence.

There's been plenty speculation about the contents of Jeremy Hunt's Autumn Statement. Will there be tax rises? Where will the cuts in public spending fall? Across most of the press, media, and other political parties(yes you Labour) it seems that Austerity 2 is not just inevitable but unavoidable. We question not just these implicit assumptions but also where that £50 billion "black hole" came from.Dire predictions about a red Republican wave in the US mid-term elections were being made but the Democrats defied them and look like retaining a majority in the Senate though losing the House of Representatives. We reflect on the results and wonder if this is the end of Trump and his hold over the GOP.Back in Scotland Labour MSP Alex Rowley has introduced the Domestic Building Environmental Standards (Scotland) Bill which would force all new-build properties to meet the Passivhaus standards, include triple-glazed doors and windows, and increased insulation.What chance of success does it have?The campaign to hold rallies after the Supreme Court reaches its decision on Holyrood's ability to legislate for Indyref2 goes from strength to strength with eight now planned.

Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland's First Minister and leader of the SNP, has announced that she wants to hold a second independence referendum on 19 October 2023.

After Sturgeon announced her intention to hold #IndyRef2 in October 2023, tonight on #Tyskysour we ask whether it will happen or if it's just a political play before the next election? Plus: Starmer rips up the Labour party manifesto; and Tory MPs give their shocking views on abortion rights. With Michael Walker and Moya Lothian-McLean.

But can the SNP will Indyref2 into existence, given Boris Johnson is very unlikely to allow it? Natasha Feroze speaks to Katy Balls and James Forsyth on the podcast, in which James suggests that, perhaps, Sturgeon doesn't even want an independence referendum right now.

The calls for Indyref2 are coming thick and fast from the SNP leader this week with a plan for a monthly speech to express the benefits of Scotland leaving the UK. But would allowing a referendum now be better than resisting one? Newer generations of Scots tend to be more nationalist than their elders. Should unionists push for Indyref2 now before more young people reach voting age? Katy Balls talks to Fraser Nelson and James Forsyth.

Nicola Sturgeon and Patrick Harvie fire the starting gun on indyref2 with the launch of"Independence in the Modern World. Wealthier, Happier, Fairer: Why Not Scotland?".We reflect on the press conference and the lines of questioning by the media, do they preview unionist attack stances? We also look back at indyref1 and consider what lessons the Scottish Government and the broader Yes movement can draw from 2014.The UK Government published its Northern Ireland Protocol Bill yesterday. Does it have any chance of becoming law? Does it in fact break international law? And has Jeffrey Donaldson led his DUP troops up a hill that will be his party's downfall?The Tory proposals to allow Housing Associations to sell off homes to tenants brought back memories of Thatcher's disastrous "RIght to Buy" policy for both of us.

The 178th episode of The Scottish Independence Podcast is a long in-depth look at the Scottish economy and what may happen after Brexit. It features friend of the show and someone who has been a guest several times, MSP Ivan McKee.Before that however, we've someone getting Farage telt, and after that we've got, just for the change of it, someone saying Scotland won't have any problems getting into the EU at all.He spoke about what I outlined above, and also responded to some criticisms of the growth commission and gave an idea of the thinking behind it. You may or may not agree with everything that is in it (I don't, and some of the audience members at the talk didn't agree either), but it is useful to hear the rationale behind it.Hope you enjoy.http://michaelgreenwell.wordpress.com/https://twitter.com/mgreenwellhttps://www.facebook.com/TheScottishIndependencePodcast
