During my first week in office, I told the First Minister that I wanted to work with him to spread opportunities to communities across Scotland's regions and cities.

That is my view. I communicated it to the first secretary [sic] very clearly, and he has a different view.

I was proud of the reception that the UK gave to the Ukrainian president yesterday.

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.
