John Swinney: “Scotland is no city. We are no region. We are a nation. And soon we will be an independent nation.”

I have been appalled at the creeping normalisation of misogynistic behaviour in our society. I know that women are angry. They are right to be angry. And I know I must show personal leadership.

And make no mistake – the wind is now firmly in the sails of Scotland's independence movement.

Friends, Choose Scotland will offer hope but it will also offer ambition.

Our independence is very, very close.
