Reform defections and the future of colleges
from The Stooshie: the politics podcast from DC Thomson · host DC Thomson
The link between a college funding crisis and the future of jobs is becoming clear. We look closely at UHI Perth, and at Nescol in Aberdeen, Peterhead and Fraserburgh to see what it means. If they can't train the workers of the future, what's the point of worrying about that fabled energy industry 'just transition' anyway? We also look at polling showing Reform on track to stun Conservatives - and everyone else - with a focus on multiple defections in one council, Aberdeenshire.
