A lot has happened over the last 12 months. In London, the UK Government continues to flounder. Despite his sizable majority, Keir Starmer has achieved the impossible: He is now the most unpopular Prime Minister in British history. More unpopular even than Boris Johnson on the day he resigned.

In Edinburgh, the result of next year’s Scottish election looks like a foregone conclusion. Recent opinion polling places John Swinney’s SNP at least 10 points ahead of their competitors on both regional list and constituency voting. 

On the final episode of Nest of Fearties of 2025, Coll McCail is joined by Matt Kerr and Chris Stephens to look back at the year just gone.

Matt Kerr is a Glasgow Labour Councillor and the Morning Star’s Scotland Correspondent. 

Chris Stephens was the MP for Glasgow South West between 2015-2024.
