John Swinney: “The SNP’s got a very bold agenda to set out and to explain to the public at conference.”

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.

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.

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.

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.
