Stephen Flynn: “The public know that those with a real interest in Scotland’s future take the high road in the opposite direction.”

It’s almost like he has been taking advice from Anas Sarwar, the man who told us that he was a lifelong campaigner against the House of Lords, just as he was taking up a seat in the House of Lords.

He knows – he understands – that for as long as the binds of their Union continue to burst at the seams, there is no possible way that any UK Prime Minister can seriously survive.

We are the party of independence. We have a vision for Scotland. Not rooted in memories of a country that was, but of what a country can be.

There is no shortcut. There is no political wheeze that can change the task ahead of us.
