Description
Andy Burnham and John Swinney say they can find common ground on devolution. On The Steamie, The Scotsman's politics podcast, Political Editor Alistair Grant, David Bol, Andrew Quinn and Rachel Amery test whether the Prime Minister and the First Minister can really work together.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham used his first major speech in Scotland to offer to work with the Scottish Government on deepening devolution, saying he wanted to move on from the 'old politics of conflict'. John Swinney has said he would work with Burnham if new powers are on offer. But the two are still far apart on independence: Burnham has called a second referendum 'off limits', while Swinney says he will keep pushing for one.
The Steamie is The Scotsman's politics podcast, where the political team unpick the biggest stories in Scottish and UK politics. A 'steamie' was a Scottish public washhouse where neighbours gathered to swap news and gossip, and that's the spirit here: pull up a chair, hear what's really going on, and make up your own mind.
