**It’s the last FFS Show podcast of the year, and we’ve got a festive topic this week.**

We’re speaking to journalist and author of ‘Make Bosses Pay: Why We Need Unions’ Eve Livingston about misinfo around the Christmas strikes.

And Ali and Paul will be discussing our fact check on the controversial SNP claim that Scotland has 25 per cent of Scotland’s offshore wind potential.
