Description

It's been a tough week to be a former political party leader. Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has resigned as an MP ahead of a damning report by the Privileges Committee, where MPs found he had deliberately misled parliament and the committee over pandemic rules breaches. Johnson says the report is a "political assassination". Meanwhile in Holyrood, and former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon was arrested and released without charge over the continuing police investigation into SNP party finances. The team discuss the week's explosive news, and how ex-leaders are causing potential problems for the current leaders in Scotland and Westminster, FM Humza Yousaf and PM Rishi Sunak.
