Episode notes

On today's episode of Holyrood Sources, Calum Macdonald and Andy Maciver record live from The Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh at the Scotland 2050 Conference.


The conference brings together people from the world of business, politics and civic society to discuss Scotland's long term potential.


Former First Minister Lord Jack McConnell, Scottish Lib-Dem Leader Alex Cole-Hamilton and Cabinet Secretary for Public Service Reform Ivan McKee join Calum and Andy. They discuss where the country sits after the 2026 Scottish Parliament election and how politicians can start to look at the big picture.

  • Is Scotland in need of total public service reform?
  • Will Peter Murrell's guilty plea hurt Scottish politics in the long term, and would a parliamentary inquiry help?
  • How does the new cabinet balance providing high quality public services whilst maintaining the Scottish economy?
