sir keir has been meeting scotland's first minister and snp leaderjohn swinney, just days after scotland's general election, we obviously got a clear mandate for change. and one of the things that needs to change and reset is the relationship between the uk government and the scottish government — which is why i'm really pleased that my first official engagement as prime minister, two days after i took up post, is here in scotland, having a meeting with the first minister and the deputy first minister. we discussed the economy, we discussed energy and, as we'd expect, we discussed grangemouth, which is a cause for concern, and our governments will work together on that issue straight away. and we agreed steps to make sure that we can make sure that delivery for scotland is the number—one priority. i'll come back to grangemouth in a second. but did you discuss scottish independence? because clearly, that is a big issue for the snp government here — 50% of the population still support it, according to the polls. so was that a point of discussion? well, i won't go into the details of all the

because we will serve the entirety of scotland. we will serve every single person in scotland. because that change matters to everyone. and that is how we go forward. performance, self interest, they are the politics of the past. the politics of this labour government of 2024 is about public service, restoring the standards and making sure that we always, always have in our minds eye the people who elected us into government. i'm really pleased to be here. i can paint, i asked people to give us the opportunity to change our country for the better, i asked people in scotland to put their trust and faith in labour. i said that if they did so, he would deliver for scotland, deliver the change that was needed. notjust through our labour mps here in scotland but through the entire team, and me leading that. and that is why i wanted to stand here today, to make good on that promise, to make good on that commitment at the first opportunity. to come here and say that was not something i said in the campaign, it is something i meant. and i'm here, starting that work delivering for scotl
