18 September 2014. It is a date that we in Scotland have been talking about for years, and it will be etched in our nation’s memory for generations to come. I look forward to telling my grandchildren about it, with pride and passion for everything that Scotland has achieved.

Because one month today I am voting to stand in solidarity with working people right across these islands. I am voting “no thanks” to Scotland walking away from our friends and neighbours across the United Kingdom.
