Sturgeon wrong to criticise SNP: Stephen Flynn LIVE in Edinburgh
About this episode
One of the SNP's top talents, Stephen Flynn is on hilarious form at the Edinburgh Festival.
He opens up about his frustrations with Nicola Sturgeon's critique of the SNP campaign and exclusively reveals that he'd already resigned as SNP Leader in Westminster BEFORE the 2024 general election had been called.
Stephen's got great stories about small talk with ex-Prime Ministers at the Cenotaph as well as his experiences from his summer travelling across the USA with the Tartan Army at the World Cup.
It's clear to see why he's so highly regarded, especially as he had to overcome major health problems in his youth.
This is a story of resilience, determination. And football.
