Calls on the general election, acne and staycations

Kaye Adams asks listeners if they welcome a general election. Plus she discusses a young woman whose acne was mistaken for chicken pox and staycations in Skye.

Theresa May's plan for a snap general election on 8 June is set to be authorised by MPs later.
Do you welcome a General Election?

We speak to the young woman who had acne that was so bad; people thought she had chicken pox.
Judith Donald now treats the acne with a drug that comes with fairly debilitating side effects. Professor John Hawk is a specialist in dermatology

Over the next few months we will focus on a new UK holiday destination every fortnight, broadcasting the sights to see, the places to eat, the activities to do from real locals...and who would know better than them? Calum MacLean is an adventurer who will tell us why we should holiday in Skye. John Smith is from Skye Adventures, Dugald Ross is a Dinosaur expert from Staffin Museum and Marcello Tully is the Head Chef at Kinloch Lodge Hotel.

What motivates animal cruelty?
According to the SSPCA, urban hunting gangs are using packs of dogs to kill deer, badgers and domestic cats in a cluster of recent incidents in scottish hotspots Glasgow and Lanarkshire. Inspector, head of the SPCA's special investigations unit, Dr Simon Harding is the author of Unleashed and senior lecturer in criminology at Middlesex and Dr Emma Alleyne is the Senior Lecturer in Forensic Psychology, University of Kent.

Prince William has said that the British "stiff upper lip" should not be allowed to endanger people's health. But how do we lose the stiff upper lip? Oliver Chittenden is the Founder of Head Talks, Josh Quigley, "Tartan explorer" and mental health campaigner and Harry Campbell is a freelance linguist and lexicographer.
