I'm Leslie Riddick.

This is Riddick Questions, where we chase the newsmaker of the week, give you the chance to talk to them, and then the chance to talk to a friend who isn't actually me.

All will be revealed between now and two o'clock

because we're joined today from Sunny Inveruri by the man who would be First Minister

and maybe next week will be Alex Saland.

vibe place to be. But look, every meeting that you're having at the moment seems to start with

a high gul and I know you're telling us it's cold in the car park. Are you able to stay until 2 o'clock?

Because I know you've got other places to go. You can. That's excellent news because we've got so many

folk that want to speak to you. We also should explain that part of the way we'll work this program
