Guardian Focus podcast: Disunited Kingdom?

In this week's podcast, Hugh Muir explores devolution in the United Kingdom. He's joined by Alan Trench from the blog Devolution Matters; Joan McAlpine, an MSP from the Scottish National party; and Guardian political commentator Michael White.

Scotland correspondent Severin Carrell meets young SNP members at Glasgow University to get their thoughts on independence and 'devo max' - the alternative to independence, which would see Scotland remain in the UK but with control of all its domestic affairs.

The Guardian's Steven Morris hits the streets of Carmarthen to find out if there is a thirst for further devolution in Wales. He also talks to first minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones.

Hugh talks to the Guardian's Ireland correspondent, Henry McDonald, to discuss what further devolution would achieve in the complex political situation of Northern Ireland.
