Listen on
Episode notes
Manifestos launched this week, with the SNP’s bold and generous spending plans immediately criticised for being unrealistically expensive, especially set against the absence of tax rises. But even away from the election, there are stories to unpack, including the news that the UK government is taking the Scottish Parliament to court over its plans to incorporate the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
