John Swinney: “But the scale and persistence of violence against women and girls shows that we must go further and faster.”

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.

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.

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.
