@NicolaSturgeon @bbclaurak 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "The Supreme Court will next week consider the question of, does the Scottish Parliament gave the competence to legislate for a referendum.

Should the answer to that be yes, we have the plans ready to go, while refreshing and updating the substantive case."

@NicolaSturgeon @bbclaurak 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "If the other side of this debate really believed that people in Scotland don't want a referendum and would vote against independence, they would be clamouring for a referendum."

@NicolaSturgeon @bbclaurak 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "As a country under Westminster rule, we don't have control over our destiny.

Scotland is now one fo the renewables capitals of Europe - and yet we're sitting here with people in Scotland facing soaring energy costs and potential blackouts."

@NicolaSturgeon @bbclaurak 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "We face a Westminster system that simply doesn't respect Scottish democracy.

The UK is meant to be a voluntary partnership of nations, but if Scotland is told it can't even have a choice, the whole premise of the UK falls apart."

@NicolaSturgeon @bbclaurak 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "If you're asking me if either a Westminster Tory government or a Westminster Labour government is good enough for Scotland, my answer to that question is no."
