Redgauntlet #6: The Rise of Reform UK
<p>Redgauntlet is back for 2025. Last month, the First Minister invited the leaders of Scotland’s major political parties, churches and trade unions to a summit which aims to lock Reform UK out of Holyrood after the 2026 Elections. <br></p><p>Earlier that week, one Norstat poll had suggested that Nigel Farage’s party could win as many as 15 seats in the Scottish Parliament next year. The same poll found that Reform could win 14% of the constituency vote, placing them just four percentage points behind the Scottish Labour Party. </p><p><br>But how should the left respond to John Swinney’s summit? What forces form Reform UK’s base in Scotland? And what can be done to halt their advance?</p><p><br></p><p>To answer these questions, Coll McCail is joined by Frances Curran and Neil Findlay. </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br><a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/skotia" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><br></a><br><a href="https://scottishleftreview.scot" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><br></a><br></p>

Redgauntlet #5: Scotland and The World
<p>The final episode of the inaugural season of Redgauntlet, ‘Scotland and the World’, investigates Scotland’s place in the axis of Atlanticism over the last 25 years and asks how Scotland’s left can support those on the frontlines of anti-imperialist struggle. </p> <p>Has the first quarter-century of the Scottish Parliament strengthened ‘fortress Scotland’ or has it created avenues to advance a worldview independent of Washington? Is, as Karl Liebknecht wrote a century ago, the main enemy still at home? Or is it past time our priorities shifted to finding meaningful ways to support those struggling for liberation in the South? </p> <p><br />To answer these questions, Coll McCail is joined by Jonathon Shafi and Amy Tait. </p> <p><br /></p> <p>- Subscribe to Jonathon's newsletter, <a href="https://jonathonshafi.substack.com/welcome" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Independence Captured</a>.</p> <p>-Support Amy's work at the<a href="https://www.patreon.com/burkinabooks/about?utm_source=search" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> Thomas Sankara Centre</a>.</p> <p>- Donate to the podcast via <a href="https://scottishleftreview.scot/donate/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">The Scottish Left Review</a> website.</p> <p>- Support Skotia on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/skotia" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Patreon</a>.</p> <p><strong>Production Credits:</strong> Cailean Gallagher, Rory Hamilton and Coll McCail. </p> <p><strong>Music Credit:</strong> Anna Tait Westwell</p> <p><br /></p> <p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/skotia" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/skotia" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><br /></a></p>

Redgauntlet #4: What is to be Done?
<p>The Scottish independence referendum was the climax of a phase in politics when many people on the left - on either side of the debate - had a good sense of what was to be done. They didn’t always agree, but it often felt like the energy would endure regardless. </p> <p>The decade that followed was shaped by the sense that the winners had lost and the losers had won. The SNP skyrocketed. Labour collapsed. Parts of the left in Scotland turned to Corbyn’s leadership, only for the left of UK Labour to be decimated.</p> <p>After ten years, things are shifting again with the SNP’s decline, signs of a Scottish Labour revival, and the left talking afresh about new formations. But is it clear ten years after the referendum what the left in Scotland should now do? What is to be done?</p> <p>Cailean Gallagher is joined by Sarah Collins and Chris Stephens to offer an answer to Lenin’s question.</p> <p>------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://scottishleftreview.scot/subscribe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><br></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/skotia" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Support Skotia</a><br></p>
