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.

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.
