In this episode of Holyrood Sources, we remember Scotland's first Deputy First Minister, Jim Wallace as Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein and Andy Maciver are joined by former Scottish Liberal Democrat Leader Tavish Scott to discuss Jim's political career and legacy.

Before that, this episode also discusses reports that the Scottish Greens will stand aside in most constituency seats, giving the SNP a clear run — and whether this could boost John Swinney’s chances of an outright majority. Andy and Geoff also examine the growing impact of Reform UK, and why they may be the SNP’s biggest unintended ally.

The panel also reacts to Anas Sarwar’s pledge to ban trans women from female prisons, exploring Labour’s U-turns on gender policy and the risks for the Scottish Government as a court challenge unfolds.

Later, Calum speaks to Chris Herd, founder of Firstbase, who explains why he had to leave Scotland for the US to build a nine-figure tech company — and what Scotland must change to stop the flight of talent and capital.
