Welcome to our monthly round-up of topical titbits! 

This month regular presenter Fiona is joined by James, another member of the Indylive Podcast team to share our opinions on the issues arising in June 2022.

Subjects up for discussion are:

  • Alternative Jubilee events
  • Westminster's agenda of shame including cost of living crisis, Rwanda deportation flight, the assault on the Human Rights Act and the colonial arrogance of the Scottish Affairs Committee
  • Holyrood - another inspirational Time for Reflection, putting the record straight about the census returns, explaining the basics of devolved budgets to the finance committee
  • The independence campaign heats up including activism from Dumfries, a positive take on the opportunities that borders bring,  Murdo Fraser's fantasy island and Lesley Riddoch having the last word

Thanks for listening!
