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.

Friends, we are winning. One by one, the stars are aligning in our favour.

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