Along the way, they spotlight local success stories like Clyde Gateway and Glasgow’s ambitious housing targets, proving that strong leadership and delivery still matter. Honest, sharp, and packed with insight, this episode blends politics, economics, and real-world business experience you won’t hear anywhere else. Key Highlights
