Episode Description

Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar has called for Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign — and the political fallout could reshape the Holyrood election.

In this special Holyrood Sources episode, Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein and Andy Maciver break down a day of extraordinary political drama.


👉 Is this a bold act of leadership — or a desperate gamble?

👉 Does this prove Scottish Labour is still just a “branch office”?

👉 Could this actually help Sarwar in May’s election?

👉 What happens if Starmer survives?


With Labour infighting, cabinet briefings, Westminster chaos and Scottish election strategy all colliding, this could be one of the most consequential political days in years.


Topics covered:

  • Why Sarwar made his move now
  • Labour Party civil war and briefing battles
  • The “branch office” problem for Scottish Labour
  • How voters might react
  • What this means for the SNP and Reform
  • Is this political bravery or a Hail Mary?
