Election Hub Live: Lib Dem manifesto launch and election disinformation

Today on Election Hub Live we spoke to Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie about his party’s manifesto launch, and looked into election disinformation.

In today’s headlines the Conservatives set out their infrastructure plans, the Greens called for ferry services to connect Scotland to the rest of Europe, and the Labour party said it would create 170,000 jobs if elected to Holyrood.

We were then joined live by Willie Rennie, who discussed his party’s proposals and said he would work with Scottish Labour on recovery.

On the show we were then joined by disinformation specialist Seana Davis, who highlighted issues of state-sponsored disinformation ahead of the Scottish Parliament election on May 6.

Next week The Courier’s editor, David Clegg, will be interviewing the party leaders and we will broadcast them on Election Hub Live every day next week.
