John Swinney: “They would've been worse if The Thistle had not intervened to support people in relation to their drug use.”

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.

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.

Words are not enough Scotland belongs to all who live here.

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.
