SNP Cabinet Secretary for Finance Kate Forbes is our special guest. Plus: What’s behind Johnson’s defence plans for fewer soldiers and more nukes? And Alan Turing is on the £50 note but will the Queen be on our banknotes for much longer? “If Scotland goes independent, England would lose an unruly neighbour, and gain a close ally.” – Kate Forbes “By repeatedly saying ‘No’, it’s almost as if Boris Johnson has given up on making the case for the Union.” – Kate Forbes Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison with Yasmeen Serhan and Arthur Snell.
