Miliband to make major speech on Scottish independence

In a speech in Glasgow this morning, Ed Miliband is expected to speak of his “humility” about the scale of Labour’s challenge in Scotland. Miliband will argue that the goals of fairness and justice are best delivered within the United Kingdom:

”I say lets confront the real divide in our society.

“Not between Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom.

“But between the haves and the have-nots.

“So I am not here to tell Scots that Scotland cannot survive outside the United Kingdom.

“But I am here to tell you that we need to make Scotland, England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, a fairer, more just, place to live.

“And we can do this best together.”
