John Swinney will host his first Bute House press conference as First Minister on Wednesday where he will outline his plan to “renew public trust in politics” and unite Scotland “against the increasingly extreme and radical right”.
“I want us to be ready for whatever this age of uncertainty throws at us, for us to be united in the face of the undoubted challenges that lie ahead.
“That failure would only serve the interests of an increasingly extreme and radical right and leave devolution dangerously exposed.
If we are to restore trust in our politics, we must deliver public services that work better for the people we serve.
The First Minister is expected to emphasise the “need for unity and solidarity” in response to “those who are seeking to create division in society”.
