On this episode, Graeme Roy talks to Professor Sarah Armstrong from the Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research and Dr Lucy Pickering of the Institute of Health and Wellbeing at the University of Glasgow to discuss inequalities and COVID, looking at their research project Scotland in Lockdown.

As we go live on polling day, Kezia Dugdale speaks to Professor Nicola McEwen from the University of Edinburgh to explore some of the underlying themes of the political campaign in Scotland and Wales, and what this might mean for the future of the United Kingdom.

We also have our final political round-up from Katrine Bussey, Political Editor of the Press Association Scotland, and her thoughts on the election count: what to expect and when to expect it.
