john swinney has actually been mentioning independence quite a lot. and for me, stephen flynn has advanced in both of these big uk wide set piece tv occasions over the last 48 hours or so has advanced half of the argument on the snp from the snp's perspective, which is, "look, britain isn't working, he calls it broken brexit, britain, as we were saying earlier, they will say it's low growth, it's low productivity, it's high inequality. and not only that, this isn't just, in their view, a conservative problem. labour do not have a credible plan to be able to tackle that and fundamentally sort out the british state. but he didn't get to the next bit, which is whatjohn swinney has been getting to in the campaign, which is and therefore, in their view, you know, number one. and mr flynn did say this a little bit. you need to we need to have snp mps at westminster holding the government's feet to the fire in the words of the deputy first minister kate forbes, this week. but the other bit is, and in the longer term, for scotland to escape what they regard a

swinney said his party would tackle child poverty and austerity. i spoke to david linden, the socialjustice spokesperson for the scottish national party. i began by asking him how his party can address a vote for independence, when both the conservatives and labour have refused to discuss another independence referendum. we will continue to do as we always do, which is to make the democratic argument. sir keir starmer and his pro—brexit labour party have gone into this campaign asking the population at large to endorse their manifesto. the fact is that the snp has consistently stood on manifestos pledging that scotland's future should be in scotland's hands, not that of a westminster government we didn't elect. the challenge for us here is to ensure that the labour party and indeed the conservative party actually respect democracy in scotland, because if they don't i suspect they'll get rather short shrift from an electorate, that, with every passing day of this campaign struggles to see much difference between them. mr linden, looking at some of

the snp leaderjohn swinney has launched his party's election manifesto in edinburgh. he called on the next westminster government to increase nhs england spending by at least £10 billion per year — which, in turn, would generate an extra £1 billion for nhs scotland. 0ur scotland correspondent lorna gordon was at the launch and joins us now. lorna, reversing public spending cuts was the theme of this launch. it was one of the themes, certainly, but front and centre of this manifesto was independence. the nine words on page one spell it out, "vote snp for scotland to become an independent country." the manifesto pledge is that if the snp win a majority of seats in the general election, it would trigger immediate negotiations with the uk government. the leader of the snpjohn swinney wouldn't be drawn on what would happen if they did not win a majority. that magic number is 29. the other big unanswered question is what would happen if the uk government did not engage with those demands. another key focus in the manifesto was the nhs and calls for investment, which wou

rememberwe scottish first ministerjohn swinney. remember we have plenty of updates on the sky news live event on our bbc lives page as well as fact checks from bbc verify it but now it's time for the weather with ben rich. hello. it's been another day of below average temperatures across most parts of the uk. with that, we've seen a fair amount of cloud, but also a fair amount of dry weather. this cool air mass, though, is set to be replaced by something that — on the face of it — looks a little bit warmer, a change in wind direction. but with that, we see this frontal system pushing in from the west. that will bring some heavy rain and some quite brisk winds. and i think by virtue of the cloud, the rain, the strong winds, it will still feel rather cool for many of us. but, actually, through tonight, it is going to be decidedly chilly where we keep these clear skies overhead. we'll see a few mist and fog patches here and there, cloud and rain then spreading into parts of northern ireland, perhaps the far west of wales, the west
