John Swinney says SNP 'puts people's interests first' at campaign launch
John Swinney has launched his party's general election campaign at a rally in Glasgow.
The leader of the SNP said people in Scotland want a party that is "laser-focused on their concerns".
Mr Swinney told activists and candidates that Westminster decision-making had meant "austerity, Brexit and a cost of living crisis being imposed on Scotland".
The first minister also stressed his belief in independence as a way to ensure decisions about Scotland are made in Scotland.
