National editor Callum Baird and Paul Kavanagh (aka the Wee Ginger Dug) are back for another Dugcast.
The Jeremy Vine show faced a backlash after its panellists tried, embarrassingly, to suggest Scotland was dependent on the Union – and it all speaks volumes about the state of the UK.
Meanwhile, Newsnight served up a Tory special ... despite the broadcast being intended to mark 20 years of devolution. How bad was it? Let Paul tell you...
He also reveals one of his own hobbies, as some suggest Boris Johnson had ulterior motives in his claim to love painting boxes as buses.
And amid all this, Jeremy Corbyn is the worst regarded Opposition leader for decades.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
