Show Notes
Two different reports, two different headlines, lots of conclusions, even more confusion.
On the face of it, one report was bad for the First Minister and one report was good for the First Minister. But there's a lot more to it than that. Jackie Bailie sat on the Committee which concluded that the First Minister did mislead Parliament. She tells Matt how that conclusion was reached and the political and interpersonal challenges of being on the committee, as well as their frustration at not being able to get all the information they wanted. Can politics ever be fully taken out of proceedings like these? How were the political differences on the committee handled? And what will Jackie do with her dining table now she's got it back?
