"The next referendum will be won in the years from now forward, rather than the months running up to it." - Tommy Sheppard

For the 133rd episode of The Scottish Independence Podcast, I spoke with Tommy Sheppard, MP for Edinburgh East.

Tommy has been involved in politics in Scotland and the UK for a number of years in a number of different ways and as I'm sure you all know, is now standing to become the Deputy Leader of the SNP.

We talked about Tommy's earlier political activities and how he arrived at where he is now. We also got on to what, if elected (or even if not), he would like to see change within the SNP.

Finally, as ever with a first-time guest, I asked Tommy why he personally supports Scottish Independence.

Hope you enjoy.
