John Swinney: “I've got nothing to explain to Parliament about this issue.”

I can announce today that we will fund the community groups, the people who are the very best of us, who are doing the hard yards to build bridges and break down barriers.

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.

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.

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