Sally is an SNP candidate for the upcoming Scottish Elections in May next year, for Edinburgh Southern, and is currently Head of Office for SNP MP Graham Leadbitter.
In this episode we get into the detail of why Sally has decided to put herself in the firing line of frontline politics, and the volatile nature of the political landscape in general…
We get into her credentials as a party staff member and all that she’s achieved and been recognised for, as it’s quite the list… plus an insight into working in the heart of The House of Commons…
A major talking point is the irrefutably sharp rise in violence against women, and the change Sally would like to influence if elected to Holyrood…
And I ask some uncomfortable questions (if you’re part of the SNP). Did the tide carry all boats in their 2015 General Election domination? Is nineteen years too long for one party to remain in control?
And as always, there’s plenty more.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
