Friends, we are winning. One by one, the stars are aligning in our favour.
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.
So Scotland’s a welcoming country. We want to make sure that when people come to Scotland, we can support them and that we can support them well.
