BBC Radio Scotland - Mornings, with Connie McLaughlin

Is it ever OK to change your mind in politics?

Connie talks to Kaye about her Strictly experience. Plus why don't girls cycle? Only half as many teenage girls ride their bikes compared to boys. A campaign aims to change that.

“What a day."  That’s how the Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng opened his speech at the Conservative party conference - having been forced into a u-turn over plans to scrap the 45 pence tax rate just hours before taking to the stage.  PM Liz Truss has said that her government is "listening" to people's concerns.
The Chancellor is to bring forward the release of his plan to reduce the UK's debts - after facing mounting criticism for insisting the details would not be published until late November, as efforts continue to regain the confidence of financial markets after last month's mini-Budget.
