With only 1 year left of the Scottish Government's current term First Minister John Swinney set out his Programme for Government for 2026-26.
Indypodcasters Fiona and Marlene listened to the main speeches and then went digging into the detail - and we found quite a lot that caught our eye. Our verdict? Mainly highlights but also the occasional lowlight. As the old saying goes- the devil is in the detail.
We've included chapter headings so if you have already watched John Swinney and Kate Forbes speeches from 6th May you can skip forward to our assessment. Do you agree? Let us know in the comments.
Chapters:
00:02:15 John Swinney speech 6th May 2025
00:25:35 Kate Forbes speech 6th May 2025
00:37:11 Digging into the detail
