Scunnered or Stable? | The Final Day, Part 2

On the final day of the parliamentary term, the Holyrood Sources team (Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein, and Andy Maciver) head outside the Scottish Parliament to capture the raw emotions of outgoing and campaigning MSPs.

As Scotland prepares for the 2026 Scottish Parliament Election, we sit down with key figures from across the political spectrum to discuss the SNP’s record, the potential for a Labour minority government, and the "scourge factor" of the polls.

In this episode, we explore:

Ivan McKee (SNP) on the "unarguable" case for an independence referendum and the metrics for success.

Fergus Ewing (Independent) on why he left the SNP after 50 years and his "iceberg" warning for the current government.

Monica Lennon (Labour) on the "toxic" atmosphere of the chamber and reaching "abandoned" voters.

The Reform UK Factor: How Nigel Farage's party is influencing the strategy of the Scottish Conservatives and the SNP alike.
