  • End of 2025 politics quiz
    Dec 17 2025

    Join us, and potentially beat us, in our comprehensive quiz tour of hyper local and random international political highs and lows.

    Were you paying attention to the regional list for Mid Scotland and Fife at Holyrood?

    Do you know how many times John Swinney said “independence” in a speech?

    Did you follow the Holyrood dog of the year competition?

    And are you aware of the prime minister of a country called Australia?

    If so, this is the quiz for you.

    Play along and join us again in the new year as we gear up for the Scottish election in May.

  • Sandie Peggie transgender tribunal latest | SNP's Stephen Flynn on energy bill pledge
    Dec 10 2025

    A two-parter on this week’s Stooshie as we delve into the decision on the Sandie Peggie transgender changing room tribunal.

    What does it mean for the nurse, the transgender doctor and NHS Fife?

    We go over the promises and policies from SNP leader John Swinney on energy.

    He promised to reduce energy bills…if he gets a majority, if he gets another referendum, if he wins, and so on.

    SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn joins us to talk about the idea in the run up to next May’s election.

  • Eljamel victim interview
    Dec 3 2025

    We speak to one of the patients harmed by disgraced surgeon Sam Eljamel, who worked at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee for years. Jules Rose has been a leading campaigner in the long fight for a public inquiry, which is now under way. But a shock development last week has fuelled their anger even further. Around 40 surgery theatre logbooks were destroyed by NHS Tayside, and there are more questions than answers.
