This is an absolute scorcher with ITV Borders' Political Editor.

Kieran gives an entertaining and comprehensive analysis of the Holyrood election results and what they mean for the future of Scottish and UK politics.

From an MSP elected on a student visa to what impact Scotland's World Cup campaign will have, it's all in here.

Enjoy!

Samantha was only elected in 2024 but she's already making waves, especially with her 'Yes, Sex Please, We're British' campaign.

It's certainly ruffled feathers and we talk about what she wants to achieve with it, what the reaction has been and whether the Prime Minister supports it.

Plus, of course, a bit of Labour leadership stuff...

WOAH.

Recorded the night Labour MPs began calling on Keir Starmer to resign, this is an adrenaline-fuelled up-to-the-minute analysis of what has gone wrong and what happens next.

PLUS great stuff about Lewis's life growing up, his book, his mum and the dynamic between him, Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel.

It's a corker.
