00:00Well, first, I think I should comment on the fact that this will be, apart from the opening ceremony of
00:04the Commonwealth Games,
00:05this will be Andy Burnham's first official visit to Scotland since becoming Prime Minister.
00:09He didn't come to Scotland during his summer listening tour, which was obviously disappointing.
00:13But from my point of view, in terms of more devolution, Scotland already has a lot of devolved powers.
00:22It has the most devolved government largely in the world.
00:26But those powers or those devolved powers have not helped the people of Scotland.
00:31They're too centralised within Holyrood.
00:33What Scotland needs is those powers to be released. And the SNP can do that.
00:38What we don't need is more politicians. And that's effectively what Andy Burnham seems to be offering today.
00:43We don't need more layers of politics. We just need the politics that we have and the politicians who are
00:47there to administer them to do it better.
