of scotland about the economy and local issues, but we are being told that crucial to the vote in scotlacrucial to the vote in scotland is the issue of whether there will be a second independence referendum for scotland. how do you unpick this, kate? the tories were clever, they pushed it towards the snp and said, you have to allow brexit to bed in and then you can have your referendum. but it pushes them back onto them and the snp have to choose the opportune timing. i just want to point out that theresa may and ruth davidson when they were speaking, talked about the snp as nationalists and nothing rouse them more than being called nationalists. i thought it was a strong line to come out with and with their strong and stable, all about dealing and then the snp who they are trying to frame as this unwieldy bunch. we had this phrase from the conservatives saying there needs to be public consent for any second independence referendum. we haven't had a definition of what it might mean? no, and that is why the snp will keep pushing it. you have both sides trying to exploit the independent id

the political landscape in scotla nd now.cape in scotland really changed at the 18th of september 2014, the first independence referendum. since then we've seen huge amounts of change. broadly, although the snp lost that debate, so that we voted to stay, they have actually, ironically, been they have actually, ironically, been the political winners of that debate. through the 2015 general election, last year's holyrood election, last year's holyrood election, they have been the absolutely dominant force in scotland. mainly at the expense of the labour party who are now pretty much a runt party in comparison to where they were five, six years ago. what we've been seeing more recently to bring it right up to now is a resurgence of the tories in scotland. no longer the toxic party of the thatcher era, now much more seen as of the thatcher era, now much more seen as the absolute defenders of the union and are making a lot of political gain as a result, broadly, of that position. what we think we will see at the general election i

this is in scotla nd see the mac they have.en't you remove that cap and given them a pay rise? what the scottish government has done is meet the pay review bodies' recommendations on every single occasion... they don't deserve a pay rise? they absolutely deserve a pay rise. it would be a good thing to do, actually. will that be in your ma nifesto ? do, actually. will that be in your manifesto? let's wait and see. parties and mp5 get into trouble if they leaked bits of their manifesto in advance. but it is important to say that nurses in scotland get paid more than nurses in england and we have... a nurse in scotland said last week she had to use food banks. is that acceptable? well... you know, of course nurses shouldn't go to food banks. that goes without saying. and i don't know the details of that nurse's case, so it's difficult for me to comment on her particular circumstances. pa rt part of a lively debate hosted by victoria derbyshire earlier today. time for a look at the weather. looking pretty cloudy for a bank holiday
