TNT Show with guest Dr Philippa Whitford MP

Host John Drummond's first guest for 2022 is the very popular SNP MP Dr Philippa Whitford.  In this fascinating discussion, the conversation ranges from the creeping privatisation of the English NHS and the threat to our Scottish NHS,  the need for a wellbeing economy to rebuild our society after Covid, how the Scottish Conservatives will fare in an independent Scotland, when the referendum might take place and a wee detour to check out Sir Keir Starmer wrapped in his union flag!
You can watch the TNT Show every Wednesday at 7pm on Independence Live's youtube channel.
