75 years ago, the ECHR was signed after the horrors of the war.
Today, Nigel Farage and many Westminster politicians want to tear up the laws that protect our basic human rights.
Our rights are not Westminster’s to take away. We will stand firmly against that.

Today I announced £25.5 million of new investment to deliver more hospital treatments and reduce NHS waiting times even further.
Waiting lists are already falling - this will keep that progress going.

This extra £25.5 million means more appointments, more procedures, more people getting care faster - part of £135.5 million invested this year to keep cutting waiting times.

Despite the disastrous Brexit that we never voted for, Scotland remains a proud European nation. We will be back, with our own seat at the table. 🏴🇪🇺

Westminster’s called the shots for too long... but Scotland’s been watching.
They said staying in the UK kept us in the EU.
They said energy would be cheaper.
They said we were a union of equals.
Enough talk. It’s time to banish Westminster.
