Ahead of Parliamentary recess, the team discuss the row over ferry contracts and Covid. In a bumper week at Holyrood, the debate over the delayed CalMac ferries continues, and the First Minister Nicola Sturgeon pushes back the lifting of face covering restrictions by two weeks in light of rising Covid-19 cases. In Westminster, Partygate is back in the spotlight after the first fines for Downing Street parties are issued by the Met Police. What does this all mean as the cost of living crisis grows and we head into the local elections, and will these pressures on the Scottish and UK Governments be reflected in the polling booths?
