Episode Details

Former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is defending the SNP’s long-standing stance against new North Sea oil and gas exploration, despite current leader John Swinney’s more flexible tone on energy security. While some SNP figures are urging bolder action—especially after BP’s North Sea exit—Sturgeon argues fossil fuel expansion won’t save jobs or lower bills, pushing instead for renewables and praising the Greens’ election momentum. She reaffirms her loyalty to the SNP, dismissing calls to defect, even as former allies challenge her political commentary. Still confident in Scotland’s independence future, she’s also quietly working on a novel—no axe to grind here.
