The Scottish Programme for Government, the role of opposition parties, businesses and lobbying/campaigning organisations, and COP26

On this episode, we speak to Sarah Davidson, Chief Executive of the Carnegie UK Trust, a hugely influential charitable trust, about Nicola Sturgeon's upcoming Programme for Government.

We also talk to Andy Philip, Political Editor of the Press & Journal, to discuss where opposition parties, businesses and lobbying/campaigning organisations fit in shaping what happens after the Programme is announced.

Finally, we welcome back Jamie Livingstone from Oxfam Scotland for his third and final instalment on all things COP26.
