Go Radio Politics Show: June 7th, 2026.

This is a catch-up version of Bernard Ponsonby's live, weekly Sunday show on Go Radio.

This week on The Go Radio Politics Show, the fallout from the Peter Murrell scandal continues to dominate the political landscape, raising urgent questions about trust, transparency, and accountability within the SNP. Can John Swinney truly draw a line under the controversy—or is this story far from over?

The panel digs into the growing calls for a parliamentary inquiry, the public’s demand for answers, and whether political damage has already been done.

Beyond Scotland, all eyes turn to a high-stakes series of by-elections that could reshape UK leadership—potentially triggering a Labour leadership battle and redefining the future of Keir Starmer.

And in a deeply sensitive final discussion, the show confronts the national debate sparked by Nigel Farage’s comments on policing, race, and public trust following a tragic killing—asking whether his rhetoric reflects real concerns or dangerously fuels division.

Key highlights:

• The Murrell scandal: accountability, governance failures, and public trust
• Swinney under pressure: inquiry or move on?
• By-election battlegrounds: could the Prime Minister’s future be decided this month?
• Reform UK’s rise and the shifting political map
• The Farage controversy: policing, rhetoric, and responsibility
