Episode description
A general election has been called for the 4th of July. We discuss the strategic decisions and execution of the announcement. There are questions about the rationale behind the chosen date and the decision to hold the event outside in the rain. We also discuss the potential impact on the Conservative Party and the Scottish Tories in particular. The conversation then shifts to the SNP and the suspension of Michael Matheson for breaching the MSP Code of Conduct. The hosts debate the political implications of John Swinney's decision to back Matheson and the timing of the announcement.
