Labour’s satanic panic in Glenrothes
Listen now
Description
We discuss our exclusive report on Labour’s Glenrothes candidate who has been ditched by party bosses over his “sexy” and “satanic” fiction output. Altany Craik is already a long-serving Fife councillor, but it seems he is no longer considered eligible for Westminster. We dig into the bigger picture - including Irvine Welsh’s withering reaction. The team also gets to grip with council budgets and the financial trauma coming their way. We hear from UK minister John Glen on new jobs for Aberdeen. And we look at the SNP getting in a twist about Greens standing where Conservatives hope to win.
