60+ years on and this is still as relevant as ever.

Thank you so much for the recommendation Kim but mostly, hugely and emphatically for saying… “and someone called Andy”… you have made my week. Brilliant! 😂 Andy Maciver

🤔After John Swinney’s announcement confirming he’s running to be SNP leader, and Kate Forbes’ confirmation that she is not, could it be that our resident #Geoffologist has called it (again…)

Really enjoyed taking part in this discussion where a trip down memory lane intertwined with a focus on the legislative challenges faced by a minority government. I was treated with noticeably way more respect than I am regularly by Calum Macdonald and Andy Maciver…

*Assuming* events don’t change our plans, what questions do you have for Geoff Aberdein and Andy Maciver about all that’s going on, that you’d like answered?

Calum Macdonald will gather them up for Wednesday’s podcast recording.

Lovely interview with John Higgins, who strolls in after one of the finest Crucible clearances ever and talks you through those pots, the pressure and what it means after a tough time in his career.

He also reveals it was the best possible birthday present for his mum!

'John Swinney will be the next First Minister of Scotland... Kate Forbes is a hugely credible figure. You have to find a way to get her into a senior position [in the cabinet].'

Geoff Aberdein on what happens next for the SNP, the Scottish Government, and for Scotland.

Just back from first family holiday with the wee one. Barcelona… some place. Even managed a couple of Holyrood Sources podcasts while I was away. I’m guessing there may be a few more this week…

Remarkable that John Higgins is still in the World Snooker Championship after he was murdered five years ago
