In this episode of Holyrood Sources, Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein (former Chief of Staff to Alex Salmond) and Andy Maciver (former Director of Communications for the Scottish Conservatives) break down the early battle lines of the Scottish parliamentary election.


This episode discusses:

  • 100 days to go until the Holyrood Election
  • Reform UK’s tax-cut pledge and Malcolm Offord’s rise
  • Why SNP messaging is focused on “sacking Keir Starmer”
  • Labour’s “100 days to save the NHS” pitch — and why it may fall flat
  • The political fallout from Andy Burnham being blocked from returning to Westminster
