Inverness GP Dr Iain Kennedy, the British Medical Association's Scottish council chairman, joins us for a full interview on the stresses and strains in the NHS. We look into the findings of our own survey which explores real-life experiences of the health service. Dr Kennedy has clear messages to the political leaders who will find the NHS front and centre of the May 2026 Scottish elections. He points out where the service is struggling, and where it shows encouraging signs of progress.

The STUC’s Roz Foyer joins us in Dundee where union members held their annual congress.

Roz sets out the big challenges ahead for jobs, the decline of Grangemouth refinery, higher education and the future of the economy.

She reflects on speeches to union members from First Minister John Swinney and Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar.

And she warns Labour in particular have not lived up to promises at last year’s election, saying she wanted to hear some more 'humility' from the party leader.

We look at the fall-out from the Supreme Court ruling on women being defined by their biological sex in equalities law.

What does it mean in practice? And how are politicians and activists responding?

One MSP, the newly elected Dundee University rector Maggie Chapman, is at the centre of a backlash for calling the court “bigoted”.

We also discuss whether John Swinney’s “summit” on tackling the far-right can achieve its aims.

And we wonder if the people of Torry in Aberdeen will be delighted that Michael Gove has decided to use the name in his title at the House of Lords.
