About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of immigration on Scotland's housing crisis, particularly in Glasgow, amidst the upcoming elections.

Immigrations heating up the Scottish election, despite Holyroods limited power over it. Voters rank it high in BBC polls, with Glasgow, a major asylum hub, feeling the strain. The city houses over half of Scotlands asylum seekers, many of whom face housing issues post-decision. Local housing emergencies and party disagreements on solutions add to the complexity. All parties agree on the need for more homes, but construction rates are falling short of targets. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
