Was the justice secretary wrong to snub a summit on knife crime?
Graham Stewart takes your calls on Kenny MacAskill's decision to attend a Burns supper in Canada rather than a knife crime summit back home. Plus we hear your Burns poetry!
Opposition MSPs have criticised Kenny MacAskill, who's visiting Canada to promote the ±«Óãtvcoming campaign at Burns supper events. They say he should have been at home, attending a summit in the Scottish Parliament designed to generate fresh thinking on tackling knife crime. Has Mr MacAskill made a gaffe? Or are the SNP right to point to the attendance of Community Safety Minister Fergus Ewing, whose portfolio includes violence and youth crime?
Plus... Ahead of Burns night, we get your thoughts on the Bard and hear some of your poetry!
Graham Stewart takes your calls, texts and emails.
