Description

Having announced he's standing down at the next election, what's next for Ian Blackford? The SNP MP for Ross, Skye and Lochaber since 2015, Ian Blackford joins the team to discuss his time as an MP and SNP Westminster leader, as well as his current role as the party's independence business ambassador and what the future holds for him. Blackford talks about the Deposit Return Scheme, Margaret Ferrier's suspension, and Stephen Flynn taking over as Westminster leader. He discusses the uncertainty in deciding to stand down, the online treatment of politicians, and why he thinks there is "no point" in independence "just for the sake of it".
