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.

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

I’ve got a track record throughout my political life of working to make sure as many powers as possible are exercised here in Scotland.

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