On the phone in Stephen asks - should Michael Matheson stay or should he go?

On the phone in Stephen asks - should Michael Matheson stay or should he go? Also on the show, do you really need sugar to satisfy a sweet tooth?

PHONE IN
Health Secretary Michael Matheson has admitted an £11,000 data roaming charge on his iPad was caused by his sons watching football. The bill was incurred during a family trip to Morocco last year. The expense was initially picked up by the Scottish Parliament, which was told by Mr Matheson that the iPad was only used for work. He has since paid the money back and said he had referred himself to the parliament for further investigation.
At First Minister's Questions earlier on Thursday, Humza Yousaf said he had 'absolute confidence' in Mr Matheson, who he described as a man of 'honesty and integrity'.
Tory leader Douglas Ross said: 'If Michael Matheson is a man of integrity, as he says he is, he will resign.'

Scottish Labour deputy leader Jackie Baillie said: 'It is simply unfathomable that Michael Matheson thinks he can keep his job after deceiving the public and parliament over his actions'.
