ctical 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.

Now I know that some people say: weamp。 and the lives of their children. I say all this because I donamp。if they ever got in trouble it would be Scottish taxpayers and Scottish taxpayers alone that would bear the costs. It would mean that we no longer pool resources across the whole of the UK to pay for institutions like the NHS or our welfare system. This is not guesswork. There are no question marks, no maybe this or maybe that. The Nationalists want 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 r
