Through No 10 North, we are rewiring the state and I want to make sure regions in Scotland are fully part of this.
That is my view. I communicated it to the first secretary [sic] very clearly, and he has a different view.

We obviously have close conversations with our US counterparts, and what I’m going to do is build that bridge and make sure that we’re still all working together to support Ukraine.
