ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This week on The Briefing, we once again look at some recent headlines making the news. First up, we examine the criticisms Nicola Sturgeon has levelled at John Swinney. What do they reveal about the state of the SNP and, indeed, the former First Minister’s own situation? Then, we explore the drought affecting England and the growing challenges facing the government and political parties on climate change.
Lastly, we turn to the deepening crisis in Scottish universities, asking what is going wrong in higher education and what it tells us about the future of the academic system more broadly. Join us on Wednesday for The Exchange, where we go into this topic in more detail with Dr James Foley.
