A hugely important intervention from Donald Tusk, former President of the European Council: “I am very Scottish, especially after Brexit… Emotionally, I have no doubt everyone will be enthusiastic here.”

Golden Globe-winning actor Brian Cox: “We’ve been sidelined for so long, and treated really not very well, and not taken very seriously. We need to take care of our own destiny. Finally.”

Labour MP Ian Murray: “The Labour Party in 2014 destroyed itself by campaigning for Scotland to stay in the UK because it was the right thing to do, and I’m sure the Scottish Labour Party would do the same again.”

This SNP voter is spot on. Scotland must have the choice of a fairer, more equal country – where we always get the governments we vote for.

“If Boris Johnson is confident in the case for the Union, then he should be confident enough to make that case and allow people to decide.”

Scotland is being governed from Westminster by a right-wing Brexit-obsessed Tory Government that we comprehensively rejected in the general election. There is another way.

Sir Billy Connolly: “Politically, Scotland’s in extraordinary shape. It’s beginning to stand alone. They won’t take crap anymore. They don’t want to settle for whoever England votes for. If Scotland would like independence, I would like it.”

Alan Cumming: “If you look at Brexit as another example of Westminster dictating a policy Scotland didn’t want, that’s what independence is all about. The people of Scotland should be able to decide what they want to do.”
