Yesterday, Labour set out a plan for a New Britain: a fresh economic and constitutional partnership between us, the Scottish people, and the rest of the UK that delivers the autonomy Scotland desires but also the cross-UK cooperation that Scotland needs – faster, safer, fairer change that can be delivered without years of conflict.
This New Britain will be founded on a new agreement, set in stone, obliging all future UK governments to fight child and pensioner poverty, to guarantee free healthcare and to create a sustainable environment.
I believe it can give all of us – no matter our views on independence and the Union – a way to realise our shared Scottish dream: a poverty-free, opportunity-rich nation built on the back of high-paid jobs that can finally end the cost of living crisis.
