John Swinney: “The new Prime Minister has made a great play of essentially improving people’s perceptions of politics and politicians.”

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

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

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.

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.
