ALEX Salmond becomes the second Scottish party leader to get a grilling from Lesley Riddoch as part of our exclusive interview series.
The Alba Party leader spoke with the broadcaster and journalist as part of our new series with the pair discussing independence, referendums, the climate crisis and how he feels about the SNP 10 years on from stepping down as leader.
Salmond also reveals what he considers his "biggest political mistake" and speaks about his belief Labour will be just as "aggressive" as the Tories towards the Scottish Parliament.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
