Not only is Elon Musk Islamophobic, I think he is somebody who clearly has White supremacist, far-right sympathies.

The truth is that the Scottish Labour party within an independent Scotland will be allowed to flourish; no longer constrained by having to walk on eggshells in fear of causing embarrassment to London colleagues or the party leadership by way of contradiction.

We will transition from being the oil and gas capital of Europe to unleashing our renewable potential and becoming the net-zero capital of the world. We will show moral leadership and ensure funding for loss and damage is not just pledged but paid and I would urge other nations to join us.

Scotland has shown global leadership on a range of issues, such as the climate emergency.

We will be the generation that delivers independence for Scotland.

Our job is to inspire, not just point out the failings of a miserable Westminster government but to inspire people, give them a reason to vote for independence.

The only way to guarantee we get true self-government is through independence.

There is only one party that's by far the largest advocating for the cause of independence - that's the SNP. So if you believe in independence and want to advance the cause of independence, I would urge people to vote for the SNP.

Look, I think if I have not advanced the cause of independence, if I have not achieved independence as an SNP First Minister, then that yeah, that will be one failure I'm afraid that people will certainly take alongside my name.

We believe in independence because this unequal Union has caused so much suffering and so much harm.

If the SNP is not winning, then the independence cause isn't either.

Independence is much bigger than the SNP, than Alex Salmond, David Cameron or Ed Miliband.

The effects of independence will no doubt go beyond the borders of Scotland. An independent Scotland where both main parties are progressive, social democrats could help to realign the English political landscape.

If we can demonstrate that independence has a consistent majority - not 52% one day, 48% the other day - then it'll be impossible for the U.K. government to continue and continue and continue to deny.

If we had powers in our own hands we wouldn't have cruel Westminster policies foisted upon us. So that's the message - independence is absolutely linked to the cost of living crisis, or austerity or the fact that our economy has suffered because of Brexit.

The top three issues for people are the cost of living crisis and NHS and public services and the economy. And of course, for me, independence is linked to all three.

The NHS and its founding principles are, to me, paramount and my job as the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care is to preserve those founding principles. I take that job as a custodian of those founding principles very seriously.

What people will judge any potential candidate on are their policies, what they stand for, what they will advocate, what they might end up moving away from in terms of policy. That is the right discussion to have - not whether somebody of faith can be first minister.
