It is right that we take specific action to show our solidarity with the people of Gaza – under my leadership Scotland will always stand with the people of Palestine, and support an independent, sovereign Palestine.
On solidarity with Gaza and Palestine.

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.
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.
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.
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.
