Listen "Defending ourselves: Ukraine, Trump and Trident"
Episode Synopsis
The First Minister has taken aim at Nigel Farage, calling him an 'accomplice' to Russia, and backed Keir Starmer, who is raising defence spending ahead of talks with US President Donald Trump in Washington. The BBC’s David Wallace Lockhart tell us what John Swinney’s attack on the Reform UK leader is all about. And we ask former SNP MP Stewart McDonald if Ukraine has changed his party's tune on defence – and whether the mood is shifting on the Trident nuclear weapons system. And Laura shows Martin how firm her handshake is. Scotcast is the BBC’s Scottish news podcast, with Martin Geissler, Laura Miller and Natalie Higgins.
