Tories reshuffle back in time
Listen now
Description
David Cameron is back in government. The SNP are calling for independence in Europe. We look at the odd new political landscape, which looks eerily like it did in 2014. Our featured interview is with Kemnay mum Tracey Gibbon, who tells us about her son Kyle’s ordeal in Carstairs, the secure Scottish state hospital. She was at the Scottish Parliament where her case was put to the first minister. We also speak to Kyle’s local MSP, Alexander Burnett, what the government should be doing. The team also assesses the reaction to community appeals for help after storm damage and flooding. Where’s all the money?
