The First Minister will attempt to revive the campaign for Scottish independence this week
Humza Yousaf is to unveil the Scottish Government's first paper on independence since he replaced Nicola Sturgeon as First Minister. The SNP leader will use a speech in Glasgow today to argue for a new written constitution that would guarantee Scots the right to healthcare and an "adequate standard of living".
Activists are split on the best route to independence with some arguing in favour of using the next general election as a "de facto" referendum. The independence paper to be unveiled today is the fourth prepared by the Scottish Government as part of its "Building a New Scotland" series. "Successive UK Governments have taken Scotland in the wrong direction and with independence we would radically shift where power lies and put it back in the hands of the people who live in Scotland. The constitution would set out how democracy, rights and equality would be at the heart of everything we do as an independent nation.
