Scotland needs a robust political and economic strategy

More details

our government needs to be the best version of itself. The bigger we think, the better we govern, the higher we aim. We need to clearly demonstrate the limitations of devolution and the urgent need for the fullest possible extent of self-determination.

A colleague recently asked  about independence. Yes, but what I really want is a revolution. Empowerment. Disruption. Living dangerously. Being honest. Accepting that we’re miles from perfect. Thinking harder. Confronting our fears.
