BBC Sounds, music, radio, podcasts.

You're listening to BBC Scotland.

Hi, you're listening to Podlitical BBC Scotland's podcast

that gives you an inside look at the biggest stories coming out of Holyroods and Westminster.

It's just about five past one on Thursday, the 14th of February.

February.

Last week I said January, when in fact it is February.

So apologies to everyone.

Just because January felt like such a long, long month.

There's some fake news there from the news.

So it is, in fact, February today.

And I'm Lucy White, a journalist based in the Glasgow

newsroom. And today, who else is here with me? I'm Raj Thiep Sandu, and I'm sitting in Westminster today.

I'm Phil Sim. I'm a reporter at the Scottish Parliament, which is currently deserted because it's in

recess. But you have come in, Phil, for Podlitical. Podlitical prevails over recess.

Yeah, I was so bored with recess that I thought I'd come in anyway.

This is not the kind of lonely.

Yeah, it's like there is, there's basically no one else in the building,

but I think the canteen's open, so I'll still get my Hollywood lunch.

So maybe a bit of macaroni cheese.

Your macaroni cheese thirsty.

Oh, I'm jealous of that I'm really hungry
