The popular Newsnet podcast is back! Apologies, but a spam attack led to unforeseen problems, which resulted in a "lost week" for the podcast.
Now we're back, with journalist Maurice Smith in the chair. His guest is Steven Purcell, for Labour politician turned business consultant, but still a keen observer of the political scene in Scotland.
They discussed the latest turn of events concerning Brexit, with Theresa May once more prostrating herself in Brussels while her spin doctors pretend she's in a powerful negotiating position. Then there's Scottish Labour, which is witnessing a struggle between Anas Sarwar and Richard Leonard for the right to lead the party back into second place.
