Every time I speak to Scotland’s care sector, they tell me they need more people. Westminster’s migration policies are very damaging to social care, but I’m proud that our displaced workers scheme helps care providers, like Quarriers who I visited today, retain skilled staff.

The Saltire flutters gently above the St Andrew’s Day service at Athelstaneford. Rev Douglas Hamilton made the parallel that Andrew brought people together with Jesus and the Saltire brings us all together in an inclusive Scotland. A beautiful message for our National Day. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Across these islands, the political landscape has changed. Scotland, Wales and the north of Ireland are led by First Ministers committed to independence from the UK. Scotland has the right to decide its future and no Westminster government can simply deny democracy.

My duty as First Minister is to ensure that every community in our country feels safe and protected. I will always stand against racism and the fact that Reform now advocates a burka ban is a shameful indictment of the party they are.

Independence is now supported by a majority of people in Scotland and people must have that choice. If the Prime Minister backs the opportunity to revisit the 2016 EU referendum, it is completely incoherent to deny another referendum on independence.

To go from “off limits” to this is an acceptance of the reality that the people of Scotland will decide their own future - not the UK Government. For the first time since 2014, a British Prime Minister accepts that majority support for a referendum should mean one takes place.

We are making progress with our limited powers, but imagine what we could do with the full powers to cut your energy bills, eradicate child poverty and use Scotland’s vast resources for the benefit of people in Scotland. That’s exactly what independence is about.

In energy-rich Scotland, we pay some of the highest bills in Europe - and they just went up again. If the UK Government won't cut bills as they promised, they should get out of the way for a Scottish Government that will.
