Genuinely, I was making abundantly clear that my first priority and my first loyalty is to my country, Scotland.

And frankly, this might sound a bit harsh.

I don't really care what people in Westminster think.

I only care what people in Scotland think.

Of course I do.

I like your smile.

Yeah, yeah.

Look, I said what I said.

I stand by what I said.

What did you say again?

I mean, I can't actually remember.

I think you know exactly what I said, Rory, what my view is.

And let me explain why.

Let me explain why.

Because I had spent weeks in the Scottish Parliament exposing the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital scandal.

where myself, families impacted, some of them had lost loved ones, healthcare professionals who had been bullied and gaslit.

We spent eight years campaigning to get truth and justice about what was happening at the infections situation at the hospital.

And to this day, that hospital has not been validated and wards verified.

And so I was in parliament making this argument at First Minister's Questions.

And honestly, if that was a hospital anywhere else in the UK, I believe it would be wall-to-wall news coverage every single day about how this could be allowed to happen.
