Starmer Crisis & SNP Boost

** The Holyrood Sources podcast brings the best analysis of Scottish politics with those who have lived it as Special Advisers, and those who are current and former politicians and political party leaders. Join Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein (Former Chief of Staff to First Minister Alex Salmond) and Andy Maciver (Former Director of Communications for the Scottish Conservatives). The fallout from Rachel Reeves’ first Labour budget has dominated Scottish politics — and in this episode of Holyrood Sources, recorded live in Malone’s Pub in Edinburgh, we unpack the political chaos, the polling shockwaves, and what it all means for the 2026 Holyrood election. This episode previews our live Christmas special and pub quiz, and dives into budget politics, polling trends, and party strategy across the UK. 👇 Tell us what you think in the comments. 👇 Should Rachel Reeves resign? 👇 Is Scottish Labour in trouble for 2026? We also take your questions which have come in from listeners all over Scotland. Subscribe now Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast... Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Fj3emm...
