I would obviously ask people in the region to follow all of the advice that is available and to respect the exclusion zone that’s been put in place.

Scotland’s energy should be in Scotland’s hands.

I look forward to doing that to turn the mandate that I received from the people of Scotland into reality.

The Prime Minister gave me an important assurance – which I very much welcome – that devolution of powers to Scotland which he's interested in taking forward would not be done over our heads.

There’s obviously a range of other tariffs being applied by President Trump, but for Scotch whisky, the tariffs are gone.

I had a very constructive discussion with the Prime Minister.

That is an incredible level of hypocrisy and it just illustrates what I think the Prime Minister is trying to address.

It’s not really a surprise to me the Prime Minister doesn’t agree with me on Scottish independence.

I think what it demonstrates is an appalling level of judgement by Anas Sarwar.

What the Prime Minister said to me yesterday, which is really significant, is that he is in favour of the devolution of more powers and responsibilities.

There’s got to be respect for the devolved settlement in Scotland, that’s what I look forward to advancing with the Prime Minister.

I think it is a terrible look for Andy Burnham.

The new Prime Minister has made a great play of essentially improving people’s perceptions of politics and politicians.

That way the energy wealth of Scotland can be used for the benefit of the people of Scotland.

On behalf of everyone in Scotland, I wish you all the very best as you compete at the highest level. Whether or not you win gold, silver or bronze – I know that you will make us all proud and inspire the future generation of sporting…

But what we’ve got to make sure is we take decisions that can stand up to scrutiny in the courts, and that’s what the UK Government’s got to do.

Sport should be accessible to all, and we want to ensure the legacy of the major sporting events taking place this summer to stretch far beyond the next few months.

I’ve got a mandate to take forward and that mandate from the people of Scotland resulted in the largest number of MSPs in the Scottish Parliament who support independence and a referendum on that question.

The world will be watching, and this is a huge opportunity for us to showcase what Scotland has to offer – our passion, our warmth, our enthusiasm, our respect for others and our belief in the power of sport to inspire people and bring…

We are going to have to use oil and gas for some years to come as part of the journey to net zero.

I understand the uncertainty and the anxiety of North Sea oil and gas workers. I completely understand that.

My Government will respect the UK Government and its responsibilities, but we expect that to be reciprocated.

What I want to do is engage in a constructive dialogue with the Prime Minister about making sure that the mandate I’ve received from the people of Scotland can be turned into reality, and the people of Scotland can have an opportunity to…

We’ve got to respect democracy here.

The people of Scotland democratically elected the largest number of members of the Scottish Parliament ever to support the concept of Scottish independence and the right of the people to decide that in a referendum.
