On this episode of Holyrood Sources, Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein and Andy Maciver discuss a brand new MRP poll which suggests that the Scottish National Party (SNP) could win an outright majority at Holyrood — something not seen since 2011 under Alex Salmond.Calum, Geoff and Andy also consider the future of the Additional Member System, whether Holyrood needs reform, and what Denmark's energy U-turn means for the North Sea debate.We're also joined by Shona Haslam from Logos Scotland, to discuss Christians in Scotland's views ahead of the election. In this episode of Holyrood Sources, we break down:

Tories and Lib Dems held special election conferences, both hoping to make an impact at the Scottish Parliament election on May.  We spoke to Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Lib Dem leader Ed Davey about their chances while the SNP continues to stay far in front. We also look ahead to Labour in Paisley this weekend and set out our own election planning 10 weeks from polling day.  

Neil speaks to Cllr Jon Molyneux of the Scottish Green Party mostly about the agreed SGP & SNP 2026/27 Glasgow City Council budget, plus Flamingo Land and the Holyrood Elections.    Producer & Sound Editor - Neil Anderson   Ungagged is Scottish left, pro-Indy, pro-LGBTIQA Podcasts.

Crime Time Inc. is back with a fast-moving news episode that spans royalty, politics, policing procedure, and the darker realities of online crime.We start with breaking headlines reporting that former Prince Andrew has been arrested and taken into police custody. With details still emerging, Simon and Tom focus on what the word “arrest” actually means in practice—how it differs from voluntary attendance, what “not free to go about your business” really looks like, and why arrest does not automatically mean someone will be charged.From there, we turn to Scotland and the Peter Murrell case—where the scale of the allegations, the timing around a looming election, and the release of charge details into the media have ignited a political storm. We explain the Scottish legal process in plain English, including what happens at a pleading diet, what “sub judice” means for reporting, and why perceptions of independence matter when the Lord Advocate is both head of prosecution and part of government.We also zoom out to a chilling wider trend: reports of large volumes of online offences involving children—and the warning signs that some offending is being “normalised” in certain online spaces. Simon and Tom discuss what that means for policing, for parents, and for society.Finally, we cover a major US missing-person/kidnapping case involving Nancy Guthrie, the role of the FBI in kidnapping investigations, and the pros and cons of using large rewards to generate information—when it helps, and when it can muddy the waters.As always: we discuss ongoing cases as allegations and reported developments. Everyone is innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.If you've got thoughts—or you think we've missed an angle—message us via the website and we'll share listener feedback in a future episode.What we cover (quick scan):Prince Andrew: arrest vs voluntary attendance vs being arrested during interviewWhat “police custody” really means (and what can happen next)Scotland: Peter Murrell case, media reporting, and election timingSub judice explained (why some details can't be discussed)Lord Advocate controversy: prosecution independence vs government roleOnline offences involving children: scale, detection, and “normalisation”Nancy Guthrie: FBI role, ransom/reward dynamics, investigative frictionPrince Andrew arrest; misconduct in public office; Jeffrey Epstein UK; Sandringham; police custody explained; sub judice UK; contempt of court; Peter Murrell charges; SNP finances; Lord Advocate Scotland; online child exploitation; National Crime Agency child sexual abuse; Nancy Guthrie missing; Savannah Guthrie mother abducted; FBI kidnapping investigation; reward for informationAbout Crime Time Inc.Season 5 of Crime Time Inc. broadens its reach across two sides of the Atlantic.This season features cases from Scotland and across the wider UK — rooted in real investigative experience — alongside deep dives into some of the most infamous murder cases in American history.Hosted by former detectives Simon and Tom, with experience in both the UK and the United States, including time working alongside the FBI, the show strips away sensationalism to explain how crime and justice really work.Two crime worlds.

Obligatoire lors de la majorité des naissances, le contrôle de filiation repose sur la comparaison du génome du poulain et de ses parents. Un changement de technologie utilisée pour cette comparaison est attendu prochainement, avec l'utilisation de marqueurs génétiques SNP (Single Nucleotid Polymorphism) en remplacement des marqueurs microsatellites (MS) qui deviennent obsolètes. Obtenus après analyse en laboratoire de la prise de sang, grâce à la puce SNP ou puce ADN (à ne pas confondre avec la puce d'identification), les marqueurs SNP donnent des informations sur des milliers de points du génome du cheval.Dans ce podcast, Armelle Govignon, ingénieure de recherche à l'IFCE, présente le fonctionnement de la puce SNP développée pour l'ensemble des races françaises (puce "GENOFIL 1" de 60 0000 SNP) utilisée dans le cadre du projet Génomique Filière. Elle explique comment sera gérée la transition entre les deux technologies pour le contrôle de filiation grâce à la technique dite "d'imputation" validée par des travaux de recherche.Elle développe aussi toutes les valorisations possibles des données génomiques, les marqueurs SNP permettant de travailler sur de multiples objectifs : gènes d'intérêt connus (maladies, performances, robes), calcul d'indices génomiques, production de coefficient de consanguinité et d'indicateurs de variabilité génomiques, découverte de nouveaux gènes majeurs etc..Pour aller plus loin :• Webconférence - Génomique et sélection : les gènes d'intérêt• Vidéo - Session génétique JSIE• Fiches équipédia - Génétique• Webconférence - Le contrôle de filiation : principes et perspectives• Webconférence - Projet génomique filière : préparons l'avenirSi vous souhaitez en savoir plus sur le sujet, rendez-vous sur notre site internet equipedia.ifce.fr où vous trouverez tous les travaux de nos experts.

In this episode of Holyrood Sources, Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein, and Andy Maciver dive into the latest bombshell polling that shows a record low for Scottish Labour and a stunning breakthrough for Reform UK. With the Scottish election looming, can Anas Sarwar distance himself from a struggling Keir Starmer, or is the SNP set to dominate once again?What we discuss:The Sarwar vs. Starmer Rift: 52% of Scots support Sarwar's call for Starmer to resign—but will it save Labour at the polls?The Reform UK Surge: Analyzing the projection of 22 seats for Nigel Farage's party in Scotland.The IFS Warning: Is Scotland's "free stuff" culture sustainable?

Once a high growth, high margin line of business for health plans, Medicare Advantage (MA) is now in the middle of a financial reset. Growth has slowed, margins have turned negative, and federal financial support is eroding — with CMS proposing a near flat reimbursement increase for 2027. As a result, plans are exiting markets, tightening benefit designs, and shifting their focus toward Special Needs Plans (SNPs). At the same time, seniors are facing rising costs, fewer perks, and more frequent plan changes. To cut through the noise and understand what's really happening beneath the headlines, host Rachel (Rae) Woods speaks with Advisory Board experts Sally Kim and Aaron Hill about the new divide emerging in MA: between plans equipped to manage the intensive needs of high cost seniors and execute on SNP strategies — and those that will be forced to exit markets or rethink their MA ambitions entirely. Listen as they break down how MA's financial and clinical headwinds are reshaping payer–provider relationships — and why future success depends on disciplined focus, deeper provider partnerships, and new investments in technology and cross benefit management.

In this week's episode, we examine the Community Wealth Bill now and Act and discuss how it might pave the way for better local procurement and build wealth locally as a slight antidote to Scotland's extractive economy. We discuss Kier Starmer and yet another U-turn as the UK Government continue to spin around. This time on English local elections. We look at the latest revelations about the criminal charges against former SNP CEO Peter Murrel, the detail of the allegations against him and the political fallout about the delay to his trial. We also discuss how this all reflects on the SNP as a party and the scorn that was heaped on folk who tried to flag up problems. We also discuss Alba, Alliance for Liberation Scotland, Jim Ratcliffe and much else besides.LinksFinland FilmGlasgow - 18th February - https://www.believeinscotland.org/shop/#!/Screening-of-Lesley-Riddochs-new-film-with-Q&A/p/807936451Musselburgh - 19th Februaryhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/lesley-riddoch-finland-the-happiest-country-that-almost-never-existed-tickets-1980183406875?aff=oddtdtcreatorCommunity Wealth Building Billhttps://spice-spotlight.scot/2025/11/11/an-introduction-to-the-community-wealth-building-scotland-bill/Band Back Together at the Òran Mór - Indpendence Gighttps://www.ticketsource.co.uk/independence-forum-scotland/were-putting-the-band-back-together-supporting-scottish-arts/e-rbjakzMorgan McSweeney's gang investigate journalists - National got there firsthttps://www.thenational.scot/newsletters/bulletin/1898/?nid=1898&ref=eb ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode of Holyrood Sources, Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein and Andy Maciver dissect further fallout from Anas Sarwar's dramatic calls for Keir Starmer to resign. Now the dust has settled we break down the political implications and potential outcomes heading into the Scottish Parliament election.Was this a failed coup? A bold strategic move? Or the beginning of a fundamental split between Scottish Labour and Westminster?Why did Sarwar make his move against Starmer now and will John Swinney and the SNP be able to exploit the fallout?We also remember former Scottish Health Secretary, Jeane Freeman, who passed away this week at the age of 72.And stay tuned until the end of today's episode to hear your questions answered. Calum, Geoff and Andy discuss citizen's assemblies in Scotland, exploiting Scotland's wind energy potentially and whether or not the mainstream media is unfair towards Reform UK.

Former Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale joins us to rake over the chaos after Anas Sarwar stunned everyone by calling for the prime minister to quit. She knows a thing or two about what it's like to turn on the UK Labour leader, having worked with Jeremy Corbyn. Also joining us is Murray Foote, the former Daily Record editor and ex-SNP chief executive. He'd quite like to send Anas Sarwar some flowers as a thank you for sowing more turmoil in Labour while the election contest picks up pace. We also hear a bit from Jeremy Corbyn in Dundee as the turmoil swirls around Downing Street.    

Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar has called for Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign — and the political fallout could reshape the Holyrood election.In this special Holyrood Sources episode, Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein and Andy Maciver break down a day of extraordinary political drama.

A debate recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival at Church House, Westminster on Saturday 18 October 2025. ORIGINAL FESTIVAL INTRODUCTION In recent years, Britain has been rocked by several scandals where the public has been kept in the dark. Politicians and the authorities have indulged in obfuscation, denial, cover-ups and even possible collusion – all to avoid accountability or admit responsibility.  As with previous scandals, it's often been grassroots campaigners, victims' groups and courageous journalists who have brought these issues to public attention. What was it like being a key player on the frontline of history in three of these recent scandals: rape gangs, the Post Office miscarriages of justice and gender self-ID in Scotland?  Journalists Charlie Peters and Nick Wallis, and Susan Smith from campaign group For Women Scotland, tell their stories of activism, investigation and holding truth to power. GB News reporter Charlie Peters, presenter of the 2023 documentary, Grooming Gangs: Britain's Shame, has called it ‘the worst race-hate scandal and abuse scandal since the Second World War'.  Meanwhile, Conservative MP Nick Timothy, writing in response to Sir Keir Starmer's announcement that he would – at last – commission a national inquiry on the back of recommendations in Baroness Casey's National Audit on Group-based Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (2025), stated: ‘Rape gangs are the biggest scandal of our generation.' The Post Office Horizon IT scandal stands out as another one of the UK's most significant miscarriages of justice. Faulty accounting software developed by Fujitsu led to the Post Office prosecuting over 900 subpostmasters for theft, fraud or false accounting, resulting in wrongful convictions, bankruptcies, imprisonments and even suicides. Nick Wallis, a freelance journalist, broadcaster and author, has been one of the leading figures in exposing and chronicling the scandal. For Women Scotland (FWS) is a women's rights advocacy group that was set up in 2018 to oppose the SNP's attempts to force gender self-identification through Holyrood. Even when the Gender Recognition Reform Bill was blocked by the Tory UK government, the then first minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, continued to defend the policy.  In a car-crash press conference, she famously refused to say whether double-rapist Adam Graham/Isla Bryson, who was initially sent to a female jail, was a man or a woman. The scandal caused a huge public outcry and has been partially blamed for Sturgeon's sudden resignation a few months later. The furore also forged For Women Scotland into a formidable campaign group that eventually won a famous victory in clarifying equality law at the Supreme Court. These scandals are only three of the many that have shocked our nation, alongside the Grenfell Tower fire, the Hillsborough tragedy, the infected-blood scandal and more.  Are such scandals simply a feature of modern Britain? Do they, as many argue, implicate the state itself as negligent, incompetent and mired in the tendency to cover-up and collude? What can we learn from these brave journalists and campaigners who have stood at the frontline, challenged politicians and the authorities, and held them to account? SPEAKERS Charlie Peters GB News national reporter Susan Smith co-director, For Women Scotland; director, Beira's Place; contributor, The Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht Nick Wallis journalist, presenter, BBC Radio 4 series The Great Post Office Trial CHAIR Claire Fox director, Academy of Ideas; independent peer, House of Lords; author, I STILL Find That Offensive!

In this episode of Holyrood Sources, we remember Scotland's first Deputy First Minister, Jim Wallace as Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein and Andy Maciver are joined by former Scottish Liberal Democrat Leader Tavish Scott to discuss Jim's political career and legacy.Before that, this episode also discusses reports that the Scottish Greens will stand aside in most constituency seats, giving the SNP a clear run — and whether this could boost John Swinney's chances of an outright majority. Andy and Geoff also examine the growing impact of Reform UK, and why they may be the SNP's biggest unintended ally.The panel also reacts to Anas Sarwar's pledge to ban trans women from female prisons, exploring Labour's U-turns on gender policy and the risks for the Scottish Government as a court challenge unfolds.Later, Calum speaks to Chris Herd, founder of Firstbase, who explains why he had to leave Scotland for the US to build a nine-figure tech company — and what Scotland must change to stop the flight of talent and capital.

In this week's episode, we discuss the Labour Party cheerfully throwing Peter Mandelson under the bus. We look at the allegations and the possible police investigation that's been called for by the SNP and others after leaks of sensitive information by him to Jeffrey Epstein. Everybody is deciding that he betrayed the country, that they're shocked and horrified by these allegations, and yet, Mandelson was a repeat offender in terms of breaking the rules, and Kier Starmer put him right back at the top of government yet again. We look at the further damage to the UK PM's reputation and the sorry state of the Westminster Government. We ponder how this reflects on his right-hand man, Morgan McSweeney? And what does it say about the House of Lords and our so-called democracy when this man cannot have his peerage stripped away?Become a Pal or Buddy, support the podcast: https://lesleyriddoch.com/podcast/subscribeLinksFinland Film Showingshttps://lesleyriddoch.com/eventsFrench Government Social Mediahttps://www.politico.eu/article/france-diplomats-memes-fight-maga-era-information-wars-emmanuel-macron/Richard Murphy - Big parties are falling flatM for some reasonhttps://www.thenational.scot/politics/25815305.big-parties-falling-flat-reason/Liam McArthur - Podcast Extrahttps://share.transistor.fm/s/7d0b957a ★ Support this podcast ★

Peter Mandelson has resigned from the Labour party and insists he "doesn't recall" receiving tens of thousands of pounds from Jeffrey Epstein but has now called for "an investigation...by me“ to check.What was he doing lobbying for the paedophile billionaire from the heart of government? And what retribution if any should he now face? Keir Starmer has called for his peerage to be removed. But is Keir the only person who can actually make it happen?Later we hear from tax expert Dan Neidle on whether criminal charges could be brought. And what do the 3 million strong Epstein files tell us more widely about who was at the heart of this global power network - where corruption, paedophilia , and cover-up flourished?Since recording, the SNP and Reform have reported Peter Mandelson to the police over allegations he released confidential government documents to Epstein whilst in public office. The Lib Dems and Plaid Cymru have also demanded the police investigate.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

Holyrood wasn't built for winner-takes-all politics.  So why are we pretending it is? This week, IndyPodcasters Fiona and Marlene dig into the idea of political mandates at Holyrood. With SNP leader John Swinney arguing that a majority of SNP MSPs would justify another independence referendum, we ask: does that really stack up in a system designed to avoid majority rule? And if a bigger, cross-party majority backs independence, shouldn't that count too? 00:03:25  John Swinney explains how the UK UNion fails Scotland 00:06:49   SNP majority  equals a  binding mandate? 00:09:20   Walking into his own trap? 00:13:52    Rachel Reeves is stuck in a rut 00:16:55    Once in a generation just campaign rhetoric 00:18:43    Edinburgh Agreement not a precedent 00:20:17    David Cameron's decision not binding 00:24:21     Is a majority the magic wand? 00:28:03     Angus Robertson has a different view 00:34:09      Our quick poll #holyrood  #proportionalrepresentation #mandate The Indypodcasters team produce a NEW podcast episode every Friday search for Scottish Independence Podcasts wherever you get your podcasts.  Remember to like and subscribe!

Nick Morianos is Managing Partner at Silver Gold Bull—one of Canada's largest precious metals dealers, with a massive global reach and billions in bullion sold. We dive deep into the current state of the precious metals market, including the evolving gold/silver ratio (which has tightened significantly in recent months amid strong industrial demand for silver and gold's safe-haven status), practical advice for first-time buyers looking to navigate premiums, storage, and timing, the benefits of starting small with fractional gold options for accessibility and diversification, and how Canadians can strategically use their RRSPs (or other registered accounts like TFSAs) to hold physical gold and silver bullion on a tax-advantaged basis.

The Scottish Budget dominates this week's episode - did Scottish Labour produce a massive own goal by not bothering to contest or argue for anything in the budget? Has their decision to abstain made life easier for the SNP and led to muted criticism in the press? There seems to be the impression, in the press at least, that there's not an awful lot to say about the budget and the SNP have sailed through a fairly steady as she goes and uninspring pre-election budget with little pain.We look at the situations across the world at the moment, in Minnesota in the aftermath of the terrible shooting there, the situation in Iran, and the continuing pressure on Greenland.

The SNP's Westminster leader Stephen Flynn, MP for Aberdeen South, joins Lucy Dunn for a special episode to assess the place of the SNP in British politics as we approach the end of 2025. The SNP were ‘decimated' to just nine MPs at the 2024 general election – yet, if polls are to be believed, they are on course for another record win in the 2026 Holyrood elections. But can the SNP really frame this election as a ‘fresh start'?Flynn explains what he made of the ‘bleak fallout' of 2024, why he is standing for election to Holyrood next year and what he makes of SNP heavyweights such as John Swinney and Nicola Sturgeon. Plus, could a push for a second independence referendum be on the cards soon?Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
