Sinopsis

No matter how it's spun last week's General Election result was a disaster for the SNP.Can a detailed analysis of the drop from 50% of the popular vote in 2014 to 30% and the reduction to just 9 MPs be carried out without descending into bitterness and the rabbit hole of recrimination?Where did the disconnect between half the Scottish electorate's desire for independence and the party's poor showing come from?Was it all about getting the Tories out or a verdict on domestic governance?Does the fall in voter turnout signal something deeply broken about politics?Focus is now being turned on what happens next now that Labour is in power at Westminster. Three interviews, one with Anas Sarwar, the others with Ian Murray and Jackie Baillie offered more than a glimpse into the Scottish dimension.Both of these took place within the framework of Rachel Reeves' first statement as Chancellor and the appointment of Sir Alan Milburn as advisor to Health Secretary Wes Streeting.Lesley appeared on The Tortoise podcast which
