Podlitical sits down with Scotland's Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes to talk budgets. Kate Forbes, the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Gaelic, and MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch, chats with Podlitical following Labour's first budget in 14 years, discussing how she and the SNP-led Scottish Government feel it's a "step in the right direction" but worries for Scotland's pensioners, farmers, and the feeling of "betrayal" within the whisky sector. Forbes lays out how the SNP "took on the chin" the general election result, and how the minority SNP Government look to pass legislation like the Scottish Budget by "governing from the mainstream" and building consensus around plans such as a National Care Service. Plus, is she staying up to watch the US election results come in?
