That Mandelson Front Page & What Next For Anas Sarwar (with Laura Webster from The National)

We're delighted to welcome Laura Webster, Editor of The National to the show.

Unfortunately Laura is suffering with a really bad cold and had to record from home, which shows a little in the quality of the audio but her contributions are wonderful as always and I'm sure that all of our listeners will take a lot from the show.

Stuart and Laura pick over the fallout from that front page of The National and discuss what's next for Anas Sarwar, as well as answering questions from our patrons in the main show.
