I do not want to see, for any reason, the Tories resurgent in any way.

It is clear that my predecessor as First Minister is frightening the life out of the Tories and the Labour Party. Long may it continue.

I think the fact that people are even talking about the prospect of the Tories coming second is less about anything the Tories have done and more about the failures of Labour to set out, in any kind of coherent sense, what it's for anymore.

Ed Balls has made it crystal clear that, left to its own devices, a Labour government would simply carry on with the same budget policies as the Tories.

Political parties have to convince people that there is a real reason to vote and that will re-engage them in politics.

We've chosen to stay part of the Westminster system, but we don't want to be a forgotten, sidelined part of it.
