Description

Chris and Al discuss the latest goings on in Westminster. Lots of focus on the use of Section 35 and a Ghost of Scotland Past. Beyond that the mayhem continues. Chris tells us about some of the work he is doing to keep holding the Government to account.This episode is a bit of a crossover as the Section 35 challenge applies to Holyrood and the GRR legislation. Westminster is Holyrood bashing and the end will be seen in the Supreme Court. Again.The Tories in Westminster either fail to acknowledge they have colleagues who voted for the GRR bill, or more likely, don't care.We also look at the latest polling and the trends therein from the 2most recent polls.Nerdspot is back, Gallant, Honourable, Learned....wtf???We round out with a rundown of the surgeries coming up at the start of February.ChrisCast: Politics from the point of view of a Glasgow MP and one of his staff.
