John Swinney: “There is no place for violence, racism or intolerance in our country.”

We will back them with a new three-year £30 million Scotland Together Fund to give them the tools they need to push back the tide of racism in Scotland.

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.

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.
