Reaching independence has by no means been extra necessary – Yousaf
Mr Yousaf was talking earlier than taking to the streets of his Glasgow Pollok constituency on Saturday as he makes an attempt to make the financial case for independence – often seen as one of many hardest sells for the Yes motion.
The First Minister stated: “There has never been a more important time for the people of Scotland to seize the opportunities of independence and escape Westminster.
“The current UK political system is broken and has failed to support people in Scotland during a Westminster cost-of-living crisis.
“On top of the damage being inflicted by cruel Westminster policies, the Tories are undermining the Scottish Parliament at every opportunity and Labour are sitting on their hands – the SNP is the only party prepared to stand up and defend devolution.
“Today, I’ll be taking the SNP’s positive vision for an independent Scotland built on the principles of a wellbeing economy that puts working families first – rather than big business – where our democracy is protected and strengthened.”
