Holyrood Weekly podcast: SNP membership figures, Spring Budget and more

THE National's latest podcast episode looks at the row over the SNP membership numbers and the Tory Spring Budget. 

In our ninth episode, political reporters Abbi Garton-Crosbie and Steph Brawn discuss the ins and outs of the SNP's membership figures row, which parts of Chancellor Jeremy Hunt's fiscal plans impact Scotland, and the latest delay to the Ferguson Marine ferries.

What did Nicola Sturgeon say about the Spring Budget in Holyrood, and what's it going to be like when she isn't First Minister anymore?
