John Swinney: “It’s not really a surprise to me the Prime Minister doesn’t agree with me on Scottish independence.”

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.

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.

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

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.
