  • Summary

  • Part 1 of 2. In his most in-depth and wide ranging interview since becoming First Minister of Scotland, John Swinney joins Bernard and Alex.

    • "I was exhausted" when Nicola Sturgeon stood down in 2023. My year out revitalised me and allowed me to become First Minister.
    • If I'm elected as First Minister in 2026, I'll stand again in 2031.
    • 2024 General Election was a "punishing defeat" delivered by people "disappointed in the SNP".
    • The SNP government needs to rebuild trust by showing the electorate it is delivering.
    • Independence will be in the manifesto and a referendum if there's the appetite.
    • I have sympathy on Council Tax but won't re-value properties.
