B-SIDE: The Scotland Lab
from Quiet Riot · host Alex Andreou, Naomi Smith, Kenny Campbell
With PM-in-waiting Andy Burnham leaning heavily into devolution, we take a look at what lessons he can learn from the Scottish experience – and what his (still somewhat vague) plans might mean for Scotland too. Kenny Campbell is joined by someone who knows the Scottish political scene extremely well: Stephen Boyd, director of the progressive think tank IPPR Scotland. They also catch up with the implications of a manic few weeks for Scottish politics, ranging from the jailing of former SNP big cheese Peter Murrell to those two very different by-election results. Plus, why growth for growth's sake is a flawed approach to the economy. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** • We have put together a BLUESKY STARTER PACK, if you would like to join us there.
