Strikes at Robert Gordon University, John Swinney's reset and MSPs deal with 'burn-out'

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

It’s Holyrood recess, but the headlines keep coming. This week, the team speaks to striking staff outside Robert Gordon University fighting cuts in an education funding crisis. We also look at First Minister John Swinney’s latest reset while the world tries to get used to Donald Trump’s tariff whims. And we take a close look at MSP “burn-out” as politicians wonder if it’s worth going for public office with one year to the next Scottish election - and just weeks from a big byelection.
