We welcome the polling around about support for independence and, of course, we would welcome an early General Election to solidify that support.
There is no doubt that our constitutional future is the dominant question of these islands.
As we head into SNP conference this weekend, we do so with independence once again in the lead and the SNP on course for an emphatic win at the Westminster election.
No more will we allow a debt to the state to tie women to men who abuse them.
