Scotcast – Politics show: The Murrell and Mandelson scandals rumble on.

Advertisements

Available for over a year

The scandal surrounding Peter Murrell (pictured left) and his embezzlement of SNP funds grew this week as we learned more about how he committed – and tried to cover up – his crimes. At Holyrood, it’s led to further questions about how the party was run when he was its chief executive. Natalie and Lynsey speak to the BBC’s James Cook about how the story is unfolding.

And we talk about another controversy too – this one affecting Labour and the UK Government – as a batch of documents relating to Peter Mandelson (pictured right) and his time as UK ambassador to the US was published.

Scotcast is the BBC’s Scottish news podcast. This episode of the Politics Show is hosted by Natalie Higgins and Lynsey Bews
