New scotpol episode dropped

Thoughtful reflections at tonight's event marking ten years on from Scotland's independence referendum. Some funny insights, some sweary, some very wise, some sobering. Lots of #ScotPol folk in the room. Thanks to the five speakers and the John Smith Centre at University of Glasgow for hosting.

As an avid follower of Holyrood and Westminster politics, I'm often frustrated with superficial understanding from UK-wide pods (if they mention Scotland at all!) Refreshing to hear an indepth analysis on ScotPol, especially outwith an election period. Looking forward to similar for Wales and NI!

The Human Rights Bill for Scotland won't be tabled in this Parliamentary session, according to Cabinet Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville in a new letter to the Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee. That means that it is years away, if happening at all. #ScotPol#HumanRights

re: the scotpol mental health budget discourse - our mental health systems are completely fucked in a way that is only partially to do with money, and actually building social housing is going to do more for population-level mental health than a few million more for the nhs, sorry
