Happy new election year

from The Stooshie: the politics podcast from DC Thomson · host DC Thomson

The refreshed DC Thomson politics team reconvenes to get ready for a Scottish Parliament election in May. We start with First Minister John Swinney's new year speech - does his quest for independence chime with community priorities? The team also reflects on the top stories over Christmas and discusses what the talking points will be in 2026. Will single issue flashpoints like immigration really trump concerns about the NHS and public spending
