In this week's Hard Facts, John Wight interviews Scotland's former First Minister, Henry McLeish on Scotland's future after the UK vote to leave the European Union on June 23rd. They discuss the likelihood of independence, the state of UK politics as a whole and much more.

On this week's episode John Wight sits down with former First Minister of Scotland and leader of the Scottish Labour Party, Henry McLeish, to discuss the fallout from Brexit. In a time of profound political and economic uncertainty, what is the future for the EU and Britain? And what now for Scottish independence? Is it time for Scotland, which voted to remain in the EU, to finally detach itself from Westminster and go its own way? Will there be a second referendum? They discuss this and more.

We also take to the streets of Edinburgh, Scotland's capital, to ask what Scots themselves think of the idea of a second referendum.

Hard Facts is aired every Wednesday.  You can listen to other shows here.
