STV leaders' debate: Record Politics team discuss main talking points

Leaders of the five largest parties at Holyrood went face-to-face last night in the second TV debate of the election campaign.

It was a fiery night with the leaders cross-examining each other throughout the course of the hour-and-a-half programme on STV.

Nicola Sturgeon had the most to lose as she went up against Douglas Ross from the Scottish Tories, Labour's Anas Sarwar, Willie Rennie from the Lib Dems and Patrick Harvie from the Scottish Greens.

Coronavirus, independence, the NHS and the climate crisis were just some of the topics that popped up on the discussion with the STV's Political Editor Colin Mackay.

Following the debate the Record Politics team reacted to the second TV spectacle of the 2021 election campaign so far.

During the 30-minute discussion Daily Record Political Editor Paul Hutcheon was joined by Deputy Political Editor Chris McCall, Westminster Editor Torcuil Crichton and Associate Editor Annie Brown to look at the main talking points from the evening.
