An Election? And Progressive Taxation...with Laurie Macfarlane

Calum, Andy and Geoff weigh up the latest polling data, the role of special advisors in Scottish politics, and the comments made by Wes Streeting on the NHS: that "all roads lead to Westminster". Plus, the co-Director of Future Economy Scotland, Laurie Macfarlane, joins to discuss progressive taxation, in light of Andy's view from the last episode. Hosted on Acast.
