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.
And I would welcome Scotland being able to determine our approach to immigration and to asylum.
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.
