Episode Details

Glasgow councillor Fiona Higgins just won a landmark court victory that could reshape how local councils handle accountability — after two years of battle, she’s been forced to fight for the right to present critical evidence in her case against the Standards Commission. Fueled by her former teaching background and concern for students with special needs, Higgins challenged education cuts she says were misrepresented. Now, with documents finally ordered to be admitted, she’s not just winning a legal win — she’s exposing a culture of fear in local government where councillors hesitate to question budgets for fear of retaliation. This ruling may become a turning point for transparency across Scotland’s councils.
