Why did the Scottish Labour leader publicly call for the Prime Minister to resign—just 81 days before the Scottish election?
Was it brave strategy or political self-destruction?
Alison and Paul spar over chaos vs. courage, party loyalty, and the real impact on voters outside the “political bubble.”

Why Reform UK threatens Labour more than the SNP—and whether Sarwar is aiming at the wrong enemy.

A blunt debate over whether the Scottish Government has treated housing as a priority—or whether decades of political drift have created a generational social crisis.
