Summary
As general election campaigns kick off in earnest, how are they unfolding in Scotland? The team look at the first official week of the general election campaign, including the differences north and south of the border as parties look to exploit weak spots in each other's plans. In a week that's seen early gaffes, politicians paddleboarding, pledges on pensions, the NHS, & the economy, and an unusual case of a party which may have launched its campaign in no know UK constituency, Podlitical analyses the first five days of the 2024 general election.

| 0:10.0 | Hi, you're listening to Podlitigal, BBC Scotland's podcast that brings you an inside look |
| 0:17.2 | at the big stories coming out of Hollywood and Westminster. |
| 0:20.5 | It is about 10 to 2 on |
| 0:22.9 | Tuesday the 28th of May. I'm Phil Sim, a journalist normally based at the Scottish Parliament, |
| 0:27.7 | currently in my house. And today I'm joined by David Wallace Locker, political correspondent who |

| 0:49.3 | Oh yeah. |
| 0:50.3 | This is the road show, Phil. Here I am. |
| 0:53.3 | So, I mean, we're still in the really early stages of the election, obviously, for all that it feels like it's been going on for about a year. |
| 1:00.0 | But we're in this sort of pre-manifesto early phase, which is all about these big messages or ideas the parties are trying to put out there. |
| 1:07.8 | So I kind of want to talk today about what these big ideas the parties have are and how |
| 1:13.2 | effective those are going to be, I guess, overall, although obviously that's down to you at home. |
| 1:18.2 | And David, I thought to start with you, because you were at the Scottish Tory event launch thing |
| 1:23.5 | today. And actually, you were there when Rishi Sunak was up in the Highlands last week too. So |
| 1:29.5 | you're going to be our point man on the Tories today. What is their deal? What are they trying to |
| 1:35.1 | pitch to us in this election? Well, first things first, their pitch seems to be to try and get me |
| 1:40.5 | to drive quite long distances to interview them. But, you know, put that aside. |
