John Swinney: “We have all got to consider the implications of the by-election result, and that is what we will do.”

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

I’m all for the Scottish Parliament having as many powers as it possibly can do, and I’ll work constructively to make sure we bring all those powers to Scotland.

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.
