The Political Party

Show 305 - Kate Forbes

It's been quite the week for Kate Forbes, who's standing to be the next leader of the SNP and First Minister of Scotland. On maternity leave when Nicola Sturgeon resigned, Kate is now the most talked about politician in the UK. In this frank and open interview, she discusses her vision for the future of Scotland and the SNP. Kate also reflects on her personal resilience following the difficult birth of her daughter and how that's helped her in politics. It's a wide-ranging conversation about business, the economy and the role of government in our lives. It's also about faith in politics and the fundamentals of freedom of speech.   Buy tickets to The Political Party, live at The Duchess Theatre here: <a href="https://nimaxtheatres.com/shows/the-political-party-with-matt-forde/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://nimaxtheatres.com/shows/the-political-party-with-matt-forde/</a>Forthcoming guests include:6 March: Eddie Izzard20 March: Krishnan Guru-Murthy3 April: Ruth Davidson22 May: David Blunkett5 June: Philip Hammond Plus more to be announced!  Follow @mattforde on Twitter for the latest news Email the show: <a href="mailto:politicalpartypodcast@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">politicalpartypodcast@gmail.com</a> Hosted on Acast.
