New Times,
New Thinking.

How do the SNP and Welsh Labour compare with the Tories in England?

The devolved nations are facing their own NHS crises and unhappy workers.

In a devolution special for the New Statesman Podcast, we take a look at how the NHS crisis – and other political problems – are playing out in Scotland and Wales. Our Scotland editor, Chris Deerin, returns to the podcast to speak to Anoosh Chakelian about his own experience in a Scottish hospital, and how problems with the service are affecting the SNP.

Then Anoosh is joined by the co-host of the Hireath Welsh politics podcast Matthew Hexter to analyse the impact on Wales, and how its Labour-run government is responding.
