Malcolm Offord asks John Swinney to give Brexit some credit for the UK-India trade deal. Swinney responds that leaving the EU has made Scottish trade much harder. That disagreement gives Daily Record its most-watched new upload of the week, a Scottish Parliament TV excerpt with plenty of parliamentary back-and-forth.

The exchange widens from trade to North Sea oil and gas, fishing and renewable energy. Then Offord, Reform Scotland's leader, turns to who should be allowed to stand for elected office. The Presiding Officer intervenes over noise before Swinney describes the legislation as correcting an omission and accuses Offord of seeking division. With about 9,000 views, the clip also has the strongest current viewing momentum of the channel's highlighted uploads.

Daily Record posted fifteen videos across the week, spanning Westminster questions, overseas breaking news and Scottish football. On Hotline Live, Daniel Caw joins Scott McDermott and Ryan McDonald to consider Scotland's North Macedonia fixture, Scott McTominay's position and Sebastien Pocognoli's attacking approach. That preview is another of the channel's busiest uploads right now.

The audience grew by a thousand subscribers over the week, although daily views are currently running below the channel's usual pace. Among nearby news channels, Private Eye Magazine had a particularly substantial week for subscriber growth, while The Canadian Press added none. For Daily Record, the week's clearest new draw was closer to home: questions across the Holyrood chamber.
