John Swinney: “That's an assurance that I can confidently give to the electorate in Scotland.”

Make no mistake – if we had lost the election this year, if we were out of power – then the independence cause would have been set back decades.

And I would welcome Scotland being able to determine our approach to immigration and to asylum.

Words are not enough Scotland belongs to all who live here.

Conference, because we won the election – and because we won the trust of people in Scotland - we can now do two things: improve people’s lives here and now, and build the best possible future by delivering Scottish independence.
