Our future lies in clean, affordable and secure power – strengthening affordability, resilience and competitiveness, and protecting people and businesses from their energy bills being dictated by international events.

I certainly wouldn't speak at a conference like that because I'm going to have nothing to do with Reform.

Maybe what we also hear from Andy Burnham is a commitment to strengthen the powers of the Scottish Parliament, to make the Parliament more powerful and more influential on the lives of improving the lives of people in Scotland.

I want to make sure they’ve got more power and more scope to increase economic performance in individual localities.

He’s spent years telling us that Whitehall doesn’t work, that Westminster is broken, and that means he’s got to devolve more powers to the Scottish Parliament.

He should have a substantive discussion with the Scottish Government and me about how we empower and strengthen the powers of the Scottish Parliament.

I don’t really think Andy Burnham is in a strong position to lecture me about all of these questions.

Andy Burnham's lack of knowledge of Scotland

There is an honest discussion that has got to be had about European Union membership. Brexit is being a disaster for the United Kingdom.

So, while we support independence, and we want independence as quickly as possible, we will always constructively engage to acquire more powers for the Scottish Parliament.

Rhetoric alone will not cut it when Scotland so badly needs more job-creating powers and the ability to lower energy bills.

“Scotland has the resources. We have the expertise. What we lack are the powers,”

“People often ask how an energy-rich nation like Scotland pays some of the highest bills in Europe – it just does not add up,”

If Andy Burnham genuinely believes people should have more control over their future, he can recognise that by confirming Scotland's national right to self-determination.

However, Scotland is a nation and not a region, and there has now been a pro-independence majority in Holyrood for four elections in a row.

I have heard Andy Burnham's proposals, but rhetoric alone will not cut it when Scotland so badly needs more job creating powers and the ability to lower energy bills.

This year we will expand access to a further 14 locations, taking the total to 30 walk-in clinics across the country. That is a Scottish Government delivering for the people of Scotland.

I promised that my government would end the frustrating ‘8am rush’ for GP appointments – and we are delivering on that commitment.

The person who was responsible for the crimes has been to court.

I cannot understate the sense of hurt and distress or betrayal that I feel about what’s happened here.

I am a forgiving person. It’s part of what my faith is about. It’s about forgiving people when they make mistakes.

My view is that with the concerns being expressed by planning authorities, the government has to be responsive to that.

I wish him well for the future.

He has taken the team and the country on an exciting journey to reach the World Cup for the first time in 28 years and he has so much to be proud of.

I am sorry to hear that Steve Clarke has stood down as Head Coach @ScotlandNT.
