Episode description

The Scottish Government announces it is dropping its 2030 net zero emissions target. The team discuss the political implications of the SNP & Scottish Greens government announcing it's 2030 net zero target is "out of reach", as well dropping its annual and interim targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions, including if it will hit the parties in the polls, and if this represents a wider movement from UK parties away from green promises and policies. Also in Holyrood, Scotland's only gender care clinic that prescribes puberty blockers for under 18s has announced it's stopping prescriptions following a review by Dr. Hilary Cass, and in Westminster, PM Rishi Sunak's smoking ban for those born after January 1st 2009 has passed the first hurdle, could this be the legacy legislation he's looking for?
