David Cameron is doing irreconcilable damage to the campaign to defeat Scottish independence and must step back before it its too late, the former First Minister has said.
The Prime Minister's "rich posh image" and "damaging" policies epitomise everything that Scots hate about the Conservatives, warned Henry McLeish, who led the country a decade ago.
He said Mr Cameron is a "much scarier figure than Margaret Thatcher ever was" to Scots and could increase support for independence by as much as five percentage points is [sic] [if] he fails to take a back seat in the coming year.
The warning marks one of Mr McLeish's boldest public interventions in the referendum debate and reflects concerns among unionists that a resurgent Tory Party could drive Scots to support separation from the UK come September 2014. » | Ben Riley-Smith | Tuesday, November 19, 2013
