The Prime Minister is very welcome in Scotland and I’ll be interested to hear what he’s got to say.
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.
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.
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.
