Stephen Flynn has said independence is key to escaping the "Westminster-made cost of living crisis" ahead of the SNP's independence convention.
The SNP Westminster Leader warned "millions of people are seeing their incomes hammered because of Brexit, Tory cuts and other damaging decisions imposed by Westminster against Scotland's will".
His comments come ahead of the SNP's independence convention on Saturday. The party is set to hammer out its independence strategy at Dundee's Caird Hall.
