Nicola Sturgeon’s new book is causing controversy. On this episode of Holyrood Sources, Geoff Aberdein - former Chief of Staff to Alex Salmond - directly challenges several claims, including:
- Did Alex Salmond really leak allegations against himself?
- Was Salmond disengaged from the 2013 independence White Paper?
- Did he oppose same-sex marriage?
Geoff says these stories are “falsehoods and fabrications” — and sets the record straight.
Later, Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein, and Andy Maciver (former Director of Comms, Scottish Conservatives) debate:
- The fallout for John Swinney as Sturgeon’s book dominates headlines
- What rising concern over immigration means for Scottish politics
- Energy bills, community power, and whether Scotland is missing its renewable energy jackpot
- James Hawes’ claim that Scottish independence is “inevitable”
