:00:42. > :00:49.Murrayfield, the home of Scottish rugby. It was the venue at the

:00:50. > :00:53.independence referendum when I and another number of former players

:00:54. > :00:59.came out and supported Better Together. I think you can be both

:01:00. > :01:03.Scottish and British. One day on Friday the Tory team gathered at

:01:04. > :01:10.Murrayfield to limber up for the May elections. A Scottish Conservatives

:01:11. > :01:15.have come here in good spirit. They truly think the moment has come. The

:01:16. > :01:20.party was initially sceptical about the idea of a Scottish parliament.

:01:21. > :01:23.He went on to embrace that and now they have their sights set on

:01:24. > :01:31.becoming the main opposition to the SNP. With the Scottish Parliament

:01:32. > :01:35.due to get new financial powers of Labour and the Liberal Democrats are

:01:36. > :01:40.looking for a penny increase in income tax while the SNP has

:01:41. > :01:43.proposed increasing tax. Brian Taylor this to Ruth Davidson that

:01:44. > :01:50.this would be a chance for her party to boot your clear water between her

:01:51. > :01:54.party and the Conservatives. We don't want the tax burden in

:01:55. > :01:58.Scotland to be higher than the UK. We do not want families to pay more

:01:59. > :02:04.than if they lived south of the border. That is practical. If you

:02:05. > :02:08.hang a big sign at Gretna saying higher taxes year, Scotland closed

:02:09. > :02:12.for business use stop people coming here and investing. Do you

:02:13. > :02:18.contemplate you might offer a cut in income tax, that would hang out a

:02:19. > :02:27.sign that the Conservatives are open for votes, wouldn't it? I will talk

:02:28. > :02:34.about leak this later on in my speech. I do not want to sell a

:02:35. > :02:38.jersey. Whether it is an eye-catcher on whether it is problematic because

:02:39. > :02:42.you then get asked what services you would cut? You can be all the

:02:43. > :02:46.debates in the world but the buck stops at me and I will be speaking

:02:47. > :02:48.to conference than just a few hours' time and making that they're the

:02:49. > :02:55.plane. In the morning the conference heard from the new candidate which

:02:56. > :03:00.the Pope will be the main opposition in the next Parliament. The SNP

:03:01. > :03:04.government have excelled in spending taxpayers money. There are tough

:03:05. > :03:08.decisions on how to raise that money. The throw free prescription

:03:09. > :03:15.that each and everyone abides regardless of our ability to be.

:03:16. > :03:20.Spending is also dropping and pressure is increasing day by day.

:03:21. > :03:25.In Angus side patients in many surgeries are struggling to even get

:03:26. > :03:30.a GP appointment. Cancer patients still face a postcode lottery when

:03:31. > :03:36.it comes to life saving drugs and government targets are being failed

:03:37. > :03:43.at every level. A waiting times have fields, a team referral to

:03:44. > :03:47.treatment field but don't you worry because Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland's

:03:48. > :03:52.higher speed politician will get her paracetamol for nothing. The SNP

:03:53. > :03:56.should be held to account for what they say, for what they do and they

:03:57. > :04:04.should be held to account for what they don't do. What they said was at

:04:05. > :04:08.the independence referendum was once any generation if not once in a this

:04:09. > :04:13.was their vows and we made one too and we are delivering on our about

:04:14. > :04:16.why legislating right now for a powerhouse parliament for Scotland

:04:17. > :04:22.which is what we all want to see and they should be forced to deliver on

:04:23. > :04:27.their about, too. The SNP should be held to account for what they do. In

:04:28. > :04:31.a choice between inventing a grievance and governing the country

:04:32. > :04:35.they would always somehow always rather choose the first over the

:04:36. > :04:40.second. Whinge about the powers they don't have rather than getting on

:04:41. > :04:44.with exercising the ample powers they do have. It is a familiar

:04:45. > :04:49.complaint but perhaps one they should mean less because when they

:04:50. > :04:53.do legislate my word that ugly. It is the most centralising government

:04:54. > :04:59.Scotland has ever had. The most illiberal government Scotland has

:05:00. > :05:02.ever had and for aspirational and hard-working and successful families

:05:03. > :05:08.it is the most expensive government Scotland has ever had. This makes me

:05:09. > :05:12.mad and what really makes me mad is being described as the angriest man

:05:13. > :05:18.in Scotland, what makes me really mad what the SMP do, it is what the

:05:19. > :05:22.do not do. They do not improve our schools are invested in our health

:05:23. > :05:25.service. He could not care less about devolution in Scotland. They

:05:26. > :05:30.want to order power for themselves not drive it down to cities and

:05:31. > :05:35.local communities in Scotland. Mid-morning and it was time for the

:05:36. > :05:39.Prime Minister who try to corral the referendum now voters into being

:05:40. > :05:44.Conservatives. The first thing we need to tell voters and about our

:05:45. > :05:48.United Kingdom. We always said we were the party of the union but now

:05:49. > :05:56.it is clear we are the only party of the union. For the SNP it is still

:05:57. > :06:01.independence or nothing despite us settling the matter for a generation

:06:02. > :06:04.and now we have Labour and the live dens saying the politicians can

:06:05. > :06:09.campaign either way if a second referendum should ever take place.

:06:10. > :06:15.They have effectively abandoned the support for the union. For Scotland,

:06:16. > :06:20.this is huge. It leaves just one party, the Conservatives, just one

:06:21. > :06:26.person, Ruth Evenson, do speak for the 2 million people who voted no in

:06:27. > :06:30.that referendum. Let's help these voters this. If you care about your

:06:31. > :06:34.country and love Scotland and North Howard for nations are Better

:06:35. > :06:38.Together and it is only one party for you and that is the party that

:06:39. > :06:50.is right here in this room, the Scottish Conservative Party.

:06:51. > :06:54.APPLAUSE We didn't just secured the future of the union by holding a

:06:55. > :06:58.referendum but also by delivering real revolution. We reached the

:06:59. > :07:02.latest milestone, a huge milestone in that journey just last week. I

:07:03. > :07:08.know some people doubted whether we would ever get the. At every turn

:07:09. > :07:13.they said you can't trust the toadies and at every turn we have

:07:14. > :07:17.proved them wrong. They said we'd never see through Kalman but we gave

:07:18. > :07:22.them the Scotland act. They said we'd never hold a referendum but we

:07:23. > :07:28.did. They said we'd never deliver extra powers but we have. They said

:07:29. > :07:32.we'd never follow Smith's recommendations but here the man I

:07:33. > :07:36.admire, his recommendations are comprehensive, the biggest transfer

:07:37. > :07:41.of our ever in UK devilish and giving Scotland control over VAT

:07:42. > :07:47.spending, income tax bands and even some aspects of wealthier. We

:07:48. > :07:53.implemented them. As he has the trip, says Smith the livered in

:07:54. > :07:57.full. This will be transformational for our Parliament, he said, he was

:07:58. > :08:03.right. The is now a huge opportunity, copper accountability

:08:04. > :08:08.and Phil responsibility so it is time for the SNP Scottish Government

:08:09. > :08:14.to end the grudge, bright and grievance and start to govern

:08:15. > :08:20.Scotland. Then he turned his attention to the European

:08:21. > :08:25.referendum. Anyone wanting to drink our whiskey, eat our salmon, where

:08:26. > :08:29.our will, by our electronics and use our financial services, Scotland

:08:30. > :08:36.relies on the door to the European market being wide open. The Iraq

:08:37. > :08:42.250,000 jobs which are linked to our ability to trade with Europe. Let's

:08:43. > :08:46.just take a look at one, food. Today, Scottish farmers can sell

:08:47. > :08:52.their meat without quarters, without Paris, to a market of 500 million

:08:53. > :08:57.people but if Britain leaves the EU that could change. A trade deal like

:08:58. > :09:03.the one Canada agreed with the EU could involve Paris and quotas on

:09:04. > :09:07.our. If we have to fall back on the basic rules of global creed as some

:09:08. > :09:15.have suggested that could be tariffs of as high as 13% on Scottish

:09:16. > :09:18.salmon, 14% on lamp and up to 17% on beef or ducts. I think the designed

:09:19. > :09:23.for those who want to leave to explain what Scotland would look

:09:24. > :09:28.like if we left and to start giving voters some of these facts it is for

:09:29. > :09:32.them to look these farmers in the eye and tell them if we are going to

:09:33. > :09:37.have two page tariffs how much. It is for them to argue that if this

:09:38. > :09:40.great nation can treat with the world people are better off with

:09:41. > :09:45.more jobs, more growth, more investment, more opportunities all

:09:46. > :09:51.adding up to a brighter future for Scotland. Finally he argued the

:09:52. > :09:57.Conservatives were the only credible Scottish opposition. We are the

:09:58. > :10:03.party that can challenge the SNP. We are the only party that can properly

:10:04. > :10:06.challenge the SNP day have been in power for nine years, they are the

:10:07. > :10:10.establishment and with the collapse of Labour Scotland is in danger of

:10:11. > :10:18.becoming a 1-party state. Look at the litany of SNP failure.

:10:19. > :10:23.Children's attainment in school stagnating, the number of college

:10:24. > :10:26.students falling, help for students at university cut. Increasing health

:10:27. > :10:31.spending like we are doing in England unfulfilled. Then there is

:10:32. > :10:34.the mess of the law that and football songs. The loss of

:10:35. > :10:39.accountability that merged eight police forces into one. The

:10:40. > :10:44.abolition of right to buy. Even though Nicola Sturgeon's family

:10:45. > :10:49.benefited from it you can't. It is even this absurd named person policy

:10:50. > :10:54.which means every child is allocated a Guardian even if they have even

:10:55. > :10:58.sang no need for this extra bureaucracy. I can tell you who

:10:59. > :11:05.needs a Guardian, someone to keep them in check, it is the SNP. The

:11:06. > :11:11.rest of the morning was taken up with speeches. For David Mundell,

:11:12. > :11:15.Secretary of State for Scotland. They have been posing as great

:11:16. > :11:23.defenders of the Barnett formula and advocates of pulling and sharing of

:11:24. > :11:26.UK wide resources. This is the same SNP that still advocate full fiscal

:11:27. > :11:30.economy, that means totally scrapping the Barnett formula and

:11:31. > :11:35.ending all pulling and shooting across the United Kingdom. What

:11:36. > :11:41.would full fiscal autonomy actually mean? And Daniel every year at of

:11:42. > :11:49.over ?10 billion from the Scottish budget. And from Michael Fallon, the

:11:50. > :11:50.Defence Secretary, I climbed into the benefits of defence spending to

:11:51. > :12:04.Scotland. That includes the two carriers, the

:12:05. > :12:12.bigger ships the Royal navy will ever have, being built at Forsyth.

:12:13. > :12:20.New frigates to be built in Govan. Upgraded, fast jets, jobs being

:12:21. > :12:27.created at companies here in Edinburgh. We will also be creating

:12:28. > :12:35.two additional front line RAF Typhoon squadrons, and I'm pleased

:12:36. > :12:47.to confirm today that our preferred option is to be one of those new

:12:48. > :12:51.squadrons at RAF Lossiemouth. The European debate is front and centre

:12:52. > :12:57.of Conservative politics right now and is also caused a slit in the

:12:58. > :13:03.party. Both David Cameron and Ruth Davidson are in favour of the UK

:13:04. > :13:05.remaining in the EU but Liam Fox, a former Conservative Defence

:13:06. > :13:10.Secretary, told a fringe breakfast meeting why he wasn't. The defining

:13:11. > :13:14.image of the referendum campaign so far has been that of a British Prime

:13:15. > :13:18.Minister having to take the equivalent of a political begging

:13:19. > :13:22.bowl around other EU states, many smaller than the UK and often

:13:23. > :13:26.subsidised by the UK's net contribution. All in order to secure

:13:27. > :13:32.a minor changes to our own welfare laws. We should not have to ask

:13:33. > :13:37.permission to change the benefit rules in our own country. The fact

:13:38. > :13:43.that we asked for so little and got even less back is testament to the

:13:44. > :13:50.fact that there is no reformed EU out there. And that the centre of

:13:51. > :13:54.gravity is still moving inexorably towards the ever closer union that

:13:55. > :13:59.has been the goal from the outset. This referendum is the opportunity

:14:00. > :14:02.for us to cast off the shackles of an outdated political concept and

:14:03. > :14:10.grasp the opportunities that a new open and liberal global era offers

:14:11. > :14:17.us. We are not leaving the EU. We are rejoining the rest of the world.

:14:18. > :14:22.If we leave the European Union, the next day, we will still have a

:14:23. > :14:25.permanent seat on the Security Council of the UN, we will still be

:14:26. > :14:30.at the heart of the Commonwealth, we will still be one of the world's top

:14:31. > :14:34.ten economies and still have the world's fifth best defence budget,

:14:35. > :14:37.still members of the G7 and G20, still be one of the key players in

:14:38. > :14:43.nature with a special relationship with America. We will still be a

:14:44. > :14:48.market that the EU countries need to export to. We import for more from

:14:49. > :14:52.them so getting free trade agreement is far more urgent from them. This

:14:53. > :14:58.is not a solution. This is no leap in the dark. This country has never

:14:59. > :15:04.been isolated and stop what we have been is proud and independent and

:15:05. > :15:09.free and it's because of our pride and our independence and freedom

:15:10. > :15:12.that we were able to say to the European continent twice in the 20th

:15:13. > :15:16.century from their own folly. The European scene continued at another

:15:17. > :15:22.fringe chaired by the Daily Telegraph's Alan Cochrane. He

:15:23. > :15:27.started with a straw poll to see what the audience thought. I want to

:15:28. > :15:33.see a show of hands from people who agree with the proposition on the

:15:34. > :15:53.ballot paper, should the UK remain a member of the EU. All shall please.

:15:54. > :15:57.All those against? 55 dashboard if either. A slight majority in favour

:15:58. > :16:01.of staying. When it came to the main speakers, it turned out they were

:16:02. > :16:05.all in favour of remaining. Here is one of them. Europe is not perfect,

:16:06. > :16:11.there's lots of things that irritate me, these bureaucrats in Brussels

:16:12. > :16:14.making decisions on our behalf makes me angry but on balance we get a

:16:15. > :16:20.better deal out of Europe by being part of it, at the heart of it, than

:16:21. > :16:24.if we were on the sidelines. It has been improved by the deal which the

:16:25. > :16:30.Prime Minister had achieved and we should pay credit to him. It has

:16:31. > :16:36.changed the whole conversation and dialogue we will have about Europe.

:16:37. > :16:41.I am becoming concerned about the tone with the Conservative Party in

:16:42. > :16:47.terms of how we are conducting ourselves. It would be foolish of us

:16:48. > :16:51.as a party if we were to rid ourselves to shreds on this issue.

:16:52. > :16:58.One thing that has been clear to me during my time in politics is that

:16:59. > :17:03.if voters don't like divided parties and if we wrap ourselves to shreds

:17:04. > :17:08.over this one issue, the two people who will get advantage of that and

:17:09. > :17:13.get political gain, the two are Jeremy Corbyn and Nicola Sturgeon.

:17:14. > :17:19.It was left to speakers from the floor to put the case for leaving. I

:17:20. > :17:27.don't want to be part of an organisation where an elected

:17:28. > :17:36.officials take decisions that effect the UK. That is not going to change.

:17:37. > :17:41.That won't change as a result of David Cameron's renegotiation. Nor

:17:42. > :17:48.will it change where European judges can take decisions that user

:17:49. > :17:54.decisions of our courts. None of that will change. There is enough

:17:55. > :18:05.for me. But does that. I am for out. Back in the hall after lunch, there

:18:06. > :18:09.was talk of passing on EU payments to farmers. I find myself in

:18:10. > :18:12.Brussels dealing with farming issues. Right now the Scottish

:18:13. > :18:19.Government are failing farmers. They are telling farmers in fact, don't

:18:20. > :18:25.worry, we will soon sort it out. No, they want. ?178 million computer

:18:26. > :18:29.system, only one flaw. It doesn't work. When I spoke to the commission

:18:30. > :18:35.not so long ago, they said, the money is there, they just had to

:18:36. > :18:39.make sure they can get it at the door. The problem is, they cannot.

:18:40. > :18:49.It's in a bank account waiting to be spent. We were told we would receive

:18:50. > :18:54.the money in December. Some farmers did on the 31st of December. Just

:18:55. > :18:58.before the bells began to ring, the Scottish Government paid a small

:18:59. > :19:02.amount of money to farmers and Lochhead habitability to say, we

:19:03. > :19:13.kept our promise. Now, you bloody well didn't.

:19:14. > :19:16.In the afternoon, the conference held a session on how the

:19:17. > :19:23.Conservatives could be an effective opposition. Labour voters have a

:19:24. > :19:28.tough choice. Stick with something we see is a mess, subscribe to the

:19:29. > :19:32.crazy SNP delusions or look to a party such as Scottish Conservatives

:19:33. > :19:38.who can be the strong opposition to the SNP. We know what we want, Ruth

:19:39. > :19:42.Davidson has set this out for us. We are team riffs and we look like a

:19:43. > :19:48.strong opposition to the ill thought out policy of the SNP. I want to say

:19:49. > :19:53.more about the worrying aspect of the SNP and that is their status

:19:54. > :19:58.approach to everything that they do. Whether it is land reform, the

:19:59. > :20:03.centralisation of the police force, the abolition of the right to buy,

:20:04. > :20:07.meddling in our colleges and universities and my goodness, how

:20:08. > :20:11.much of that they have done! The SNP has made the state are paramount and

:20:12. > :20:17.that is precisely why we need to be the opposition. The very worst

:20:18. > :20:22.aspect of that, ladies and gentlemen, is the named person

:20:23. > :20:33.policy. It is deeply controversial and it is deeply unpopular. Let me

:20:34. > :20:37.be very clear. We all know that there has been a number of very

:20:38. > :20:41.shocking cases across Scotland which have demonstrated just how bad it

:20:42. > :20:45.can be some of our most vulnerable children. But instead of

:20:46. > :20:51.prioritising urgent support for these must honourable children, the

:20:52. > :20:56.SNP has taken the extraordinary, almost unbelievable decision, to

:20:57. > :21:02.insist that every young person between zero and 18 must have a

:21:03. > :21:07.state guardian. This will become law in August this year. Not

:21:08. > :21:11.surprisingly, the reaction from the vast majority of parents has been an

:21:12. > :21:16.angry one. This is because implicit in this policy is the insistence

:21:17. > :21:20.that the state, rather than parents and families, has a primary

:21:21. > :21:29.obligation to look after children. This, ladies and gentlemen, is just

:21:30. > :21:32.plain wrong. If there are so many thousands of parents in Scotland

:21:33. > :21:37.doing a really good job and there are, then what right does the

:21:38. > :21:49.Scottish Government have tell them that the state knows better?

:21:50. > :21:56.Finally, Scottish leader Ruth Davidson. She started with a lead at

:21:57. > :22:00.the SNP. We thought the referendum was the end of it. What we have

:22:01. > :22:07.learned since is that they have no intention of respecting bad result.

:22:08. > :22:11.It shouldn't surprise us. Dogs bark, ducks quack and the SNP are for

:22:12. > :22:17.breaking up Britain. I have said this time and again, we don't have

:22:18. > :22:20.to be here. Nicholas Sturgeon can hear the divisions in our country by

:22:21. > :22:25.simply repeating the words she claimed before, once in a

:22:26. > :22:29.generation. Lord knows I've challenged her often enough to say

:22:30. > :22:33.them again. Then she turned her fire and the other parties. The result of

:22:34. > :22:36.the General Election showed as a board for the Lib Dems this time is

:22:37. > :22:41.a wasted vote. If you live in Glasgow or Edinburgh, in the middle

:22:42. > :22:46.Islands, Central Scotland or the West, don't have a Lib Dem SNP and

:22:47. > :22:51.you haven't had one for five years. The party is too weak to represent

:22:52. > :23:00.you at any Parliamentary level. What about Labour? I'm a Democrat. Even

:23:01. > :23:04.as a centre right politician, I'm prepared to accept that every

:23:05. > :23:10.country needs a centre left. What is the UK ever done to deserve Jeremy

:23:11. > :23:20.Corbyn's Labour Party? I grew up watching Titans lead Labour. Now I

:23:21. > :23:25.feel nostalgic for Ed Miliband! Then she turns to public spending. If we

:23:26. > :23:29.want to maintain our NHS to the standard that we rightly expect,

:23:30. > :23:34.then increased spending must be part of the solution. So we can announce

:23:35. > :23:41.today and key demand that we will make of the new Scottish Government.

:23:42. > :23:44.It is a fact, not well-known, that between 2010 and 2015 the SNP failed

:23:45. > :23:51.to keep up with spending increases on the NHS. During that time,

:23:52. > :23:57.spending on health in England rose by 7%. Only by 1% in Scotland.

:23:58. > :24:03.Hundreds of millions of pounds promised but never delivered. At a

:24:04. > :24:09.time when the population is ageing and demand is rising, the NHS needs

:24:10. > :24:14.our support. That is why we propose today that the Scottish Government

:24:15. > :24:18.backs a new NHS guarantee. Spending on our health service should rise

:24:19. > :24:23.each year by whatever is highest, whether that is inflation, 2% by the

:24:24. > :24:29.extra funding coming from. Every single penny passed on, that would

:24:30. > :24:34.mean that help spending was rising by more than one pounds by the end

:24:35. > :24:43.of this decade. Then her prescription for education. If the

:24:44. > :24:48.NHS needs a checkup, and so do our schools. Scotland as a nation has

:24:49. > :24:53.always understood that our future is inseparably linked to the education

:24:54. > :24:58.of our children. But for too many, the ladder of opportunity is missing

:24:59. > :25:02.the most important runs so I won't system that develops new leaders,

:25:03. > :25:07.that empowers them and ensures we learn from their example. Right now,

:25:08. > :25:14.only a tiny fraction of Scotland's teachers have any wish to go on and

:25:15. > :25:18.be a head. Dozens of posts remain unfilled. We need leaders of our

:25:19. > :25:23.future to know that they can make the maximum difference when they get

:25:24. > :25:26.into power. That means real responsibility, that means handing

:25:27. > :25:30.control over budgets and recruitment and the funding over the new

:25:31. > :25:35.Scottish at challenge directly to head. It means being the best and

:25:36. > :25:38.worst performing schools to help spread best practice, it means

:25:39. > :25:43.putting greater focus on literacy and numeracy to ensure that by the

:25:44. > :25:50.age of 11, every child can read well. It means proper testing and an

:25:51. > :25:56.independent inspection regime, not an educational body in charge of

:25:57. > :26:00.marking it on,. Finally, the big question, what would she say about

:26:01. > :26:04.tax? We can cut tax in Scotland but over the medium term and our

:26:05. > :26:08.manifesto will show how but if we're going to cut tax rates in Scotland,

:26:09. > :26:16.I believe that we as a nation need to it first. The truth is, we

:26:17. > :26:20.haven't done that yet. And left with a judgment and right here, right

:26:21. > :26:24.now, when spending limits are still tough and public services like our

:26:25. > :26:27.NHS and education system need support, I don't believe that the

:26:28. > :26:33.time is right for a short-term tax cut below that of the UK. That is my

:26:34. > :26:37.judgment as leader, that we will have a fair deal to protect the

:26:38. > :26:41.Scottish taxpayer against tax rises and irresponsible approach to public

:26:42. > :26:56.finances and I ask you today for your support. Bringing the key

:26:57. > :27:01.message from this conference, they want to become the official

:27:02. > :27:06.opposition at Holyrood, how likely is that? If you think about it from

:27:07. > :27:13.an initial standpoint, it's a remarkable thing to say. Declaring

:27:14. > :27:16.an advance that the SNP are likely to win and Nicola Sturgeon is likely

:27:17. > :27:21.to be returned as First Minister. She is positing that victory and

:27:22. > :27:25.offering herself as the counterbalance to it, offering

:27:26. > :27:31.herself as the opposition. One, standing against any tax increases

:27:32. > :27:34.and looking for parity divinity and between Scotland and England but

:27:35. > :27:38.secondly, standing as the most vigorous opponent of a second

:27:39. > :27:43.referendum or the prospect of independence. She is wanting all the

:27:44. > :27:48.votes were in the Scottish referendum to her side just as she

:27:49. > :27:54.believes the SNP have managed to corral the efforts. The issue of

:27:55. > :27:55.Europe has been big. It has stood the party. Has there been must

:27:56. > :28:10.discussion about this? It is huge. It is a gigantic issue

:28:11. > :28:15.for the UK. For the Conservative arty. A debate on the fringe, at the

:28:16. > :28:20.conference year, at the fringe, Liam Fox discussion, chat, horses, it is

:28:21. > :28:26.dominating everything but a thread throughout the whole of it. The

:28:27. > :28:33.divisions that are within the party, honourable but stark, the concern

:28:34. > :28:41.might be that that overwhelms the United pitch for the elections on

:28:42. > :28:44.May five. June 23 trumps May five. Some here are adamant that will not

:28:45. > :28:50.be the case, they can stick to the message up to May five will stop

:28:51. > :28:55.keep people focused on Holyrood until then and up till then we'll

:28:56. > :29:00.deal with the main question. That is from the Conservative conference

:29:01. > :29:02.year at Murrayfield stadium. We will be back next week with highlights
