Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturrgeon caused a stir this week when she announced that she was going to be standing down. Whatever you think about Sturgeon herself, or the issue of Scottish independence, this is undoubtedly a moment of huge signficance. She has been a dominant figure in the SNP and Scottish politics for 16 years, so co-hosts Charlotte Henry and Emma Burnell discuss what comes next for her party, her country and her dream of an independent Scotland. They also look at whether Sturgeon's resignation makes the likelihood of a Labour majority government led by Sir Keir Starmer more likely.
