I think Rupert Murdoch is one of the most substantial figures in journalism for the last 50 years, so it would strike me as important to have a good and businesslike relationship with him
Perhaps Alex Salmond would have acted with a bit more concern if his phone had been hacked by Rupert Murdoch's newspapers
Most people would think that [the projected value of North Sea oil reserves] would give you strong collateral for your [credit] ratings. I’m fairly confident we would be triple A rated
It is difficult to see the difference between the case of Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt's adviser Adam Smith, who quit and Alex Salmond's adviser, Geoff Aberdein, who hasn't.
In terms of value, the best of North Sea oil is yet to come. Forty to 50 years is not to be sniffed at
Now we discover that the First Minister was a secret undercover lobbyist for Rupert Murdoch. He didn't tell the Scottish people, he didn't come clean; he isn't coming clean now. What I say to Alex Salmond is he must come clean.
I would have been delighted to articulate that position, if the opportunity presented itself. As it turned out, that opportunity didn't present itself because of a combination of circumstances.
Alex Salmond has tried to make great virtue of his transparency, but it has backfired in spectacular style now it has emerged he had a secret meeting with Rupert Murdoch in New York.
That's perfectly legitimate Scottish government behaviour. We will put forward what we believe to be in the best interests of jobs and investment in Scotland, and we will do that regardless of which company it is.
Just as Alex Salmond has questions to answer over Rupert Murdoch, he must also come clean on what promises he made to Donald Trump.
Frankly I don’t think 11 turbines offshore is a difficult proposition for most people to accept
It is outrageous that Alex Salmond is putting the interests of rich businessmen - not the people of Scotland - first.
These are chatter within News International – that’s all the emails represent. There couldn’t be a quid pro quo. The Scottish government has no determination over the ownership of BSkyB. Secondly, I never spoke or wrote to Jeremy Hunt on the issue.
Well, it’s a little emotional, but I am attracted by the idea. But I’m not convinced, and so I said we should stay neutral on the big issue, but let’s see how he [Alex Salmond] performs.

Alex Salmond called. He had a very good dinner with the Editor of the Sun in Scotland yesterday. The Sun is now keen to back the SNP at the election. The Editor will make his pitch to the Editorial team tomorrow. Alex wanted to see whether we could help smooth the way for the process.
The demonstrator plant is about consolidating the northeast of Scotland's position as an energy capital of the world
If Alex Salmond was smart, he would stop [building windfarms] right now because what he's doing to Scotland is terrible. This is the same thing as al-Megrahi, when they let him out of prison because he would die in two weeks. And guess what, he was running around the park last week
I’m afraid Donald Trump and I are destined to disagree on this matter
He (Alex Salmond) did want me to come to Scotland. He did want me to spend, as I said, tens of millions of pounds and he did think that was an asset. And it is an asset: I have created an absolute jewel for Scotland
Even before these offshore clean energy projects have been deployed, renewables contributed more than a third of Scotland's electricity needs in 2011 and the sector supports more than 11,000 jobs - and tens of thousands of more jobs will be created
That’s because the public wasn’t given the facts by you or Alex Salmond
This is a fantastic day. A Scottish winner for the Scottish National. The sun was shining and I tipped the winner.
I met with Alex Salmond's adviser today. He will call Hunt whenever we need him to.
I am determined that communities across Scotland will benefit directly from offshore wind, which is forecast to generate about £30bn of investment and lead to the creation of up to 28,000 Scottish jobs.
