00:00This weekend is historic. Scottish members have decided that your party, Scotland, will be a sister party in its own right.
00:08You've voted to have a pro-independence position and you've voted to stand in the Holyrood elections.
00:17And while this Westminster government oppresses people abroad, it punishes people in Scotland too.
00:24Across the NHS, local governments, schools and community services, people feel the strain.
00:31Budgets tighten, expectations fall, managed decline is presented as realism.
00:37And what's striking is how often that settlement is backed by parties who claim to be progressive.
00:43A political class that is managing cuts and scarcity instead of fighting for transformation.
00:49Scottish people deserve better than a politics that wears the veneer of progressivism while still pushing through cuts that decimate our communities.
00:59And that's what you get with the SNP and the Greens.
01:02We can do better than that. In fact, you deserve better than that.
01:07And your party exists to oppose cuts.
01:10And I'm glad that you have voted to put candidates on a no-cuts platform.
01:19Because that is the socialist position.
