About this episode

The House of Commons votes on Tuesday, with Flynn urging Sarwar to demand Starmers resignation if the committee finds him guilty. Tory leader Kemi Badenoch also calls for all Labour MPs to support the referral. Meanwhile, Scottish Labour MP Gregor Poynton accuses the SNP of focusing on Westminster drama instead of Scotlands issues, highlighting past scandals they ignored. The showdown heads into Tuesdays vote, putting Scottish Labours loyalty on the line amid a bigger government scandal. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
