nt to break up UK funding on pensions, the UK funding of healthcare, the UK funding and prehensive protection on national security. These are the facts. This is what would happen. An end to the things we share together. And the people of Scotland must know these facts before they make this onceandforall decision. To warn of the consequences is not to scaremonger, it is like warning a friend about a decision they might take that will affect the rest of their lives amp。ndash。 and the lives of their children. I say all this because I donamp。rsquo。t want the people of Scotland to be sold a dream that disappears. Now I know that some people say: weamp。rsquo。ve heard about the risks and the uncertainties, but we still want change. Look. The United Kingdom is not a perfect country no country is. Of course we must constantly change and improve peopleamp。rsquo。s lives. Noone is content while there are still children living in poverty. Noone is content while there are people struggling, and young people not reaching their full potential. Yes, every political party is different. But we are all of us amp。ndash。 Conservatives, Labor, Lib Dems, Nationalists amp。ndash。 on a constant mission to change our country for the better. The question is: how do you get that change? For me itamp。rsquo。s simple. You donamp。rsquo。t get the change you want by ripping your country apart. You donamp。rsquo。t get change by undermining your economy and damaging your businesses and diminishing your place in the world.

There is no going back to the way things were. A vote for No means real change. And we have spelled that change out in practical terms, with a plan and a process. If we get a No vote on Thursday, that will trigger a major, unprecedented program of devolution with additional powers for the Scottish Parliament. Major new powers over tax, spending and welfare services. We have agreed a timetable for that stronger Scottish Parliament: a timetable to bring in the new powers that will go ahead if there is a No vote, a White Paper by November, put into draft legislation by January. This is a timetable that is now agreed by all the main political parties and set in stone, and I am prepared to work with all the main parties to deliver this during 2020. So a No vote actually means faster, fairer, safer and better change. And this is a vital point: Scotland is not an observer in the affairs of this country. Scotland is shaping and changing the United Kingdom for the better amp。ndash。 more so today than at any point i
