John Swinney: “My government will always stand in solidarity with communities to ensure everyone feels safe and respected.”

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.

Conference, because we won the election – and because we won the trust of people in Scotland - we can now do two things: improve people’s lives here and now, and build the best possible future by delivering Scottish independence.

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

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.
