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.

In Westminster – Unionists united in their panic. 2026 has been a turning point in Scotland’s journey towards statehood, and there is no turning back.

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

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.
