The SNP annual conference. All change or more of the same?
Did Nicola Sturgeon nail her conference speech?
The SNP NEC election results. Who's in, who's out?
The Pat Finucane inquiry, what next?

The SNP annual conference forms the bulk of this week's podcast.

Rarely can the conference have been more eagerly picked over and analysed in advance with controversy surrounding lists, factions, and arguments surrounding Plan Bs and accusations of debate and dissent being stifled.

We try and make sense not just of the NEC elections, but also Nicola's speech and the the policy announcements made.

Is a new era in the leadership style of the SNP being ushered in?

 Lesley gives an update on Yes Alba, the grassroots campaigning organisation set up by AUOB. 

I look at the announcement by the N Ireland Secretary,Brandon Lewis, on the further delays to a public inquiry into the killing of lawyer Pat Finucane.

All of this plus the usual meanderings and musings.
