:00:00. > :00:00.Prices could go up in an independent Scotland.
:00:00. > :00:08.That's the warning from some supermarket bosses today.
:00:09. > :00:10.And its an intervention that might mean
:00:11. > :00:31.a lot more to voters than all that endless debate about the currency.
:00:32. > :00:33.Scaremongering, bullying and intimidation.
:00:34. > :00:35.That's how Alex Salmond brushed off the news that every
:00:36. > :00:40.Scottish-based bank might move its HQ out of an independent Scotland.
:00:41. > :00:43.But it's harder to dismiss the warnings from supermarket bosses
:00:44. > :00:47.who say prices in the shops might go up if Scotland votes yes.
:00:48. > :00:50.So has a week that started with jubilation
:00:51. > :00:55.despair? I'll be talking live to Danny Alexander, Chief Secretary to
:00:56. > :00:59.the Treasury and John Swinney, the Scottish Finance Minister.
:01:00. > :01:02.The biggest live debate ever staged in Scotland gave first time voters
:01:03. > :01:05.the chance to hold the grown ups to account.
:01:06. > :01:08.I'll be asking three teenage voters who were at the debate if any
:01:09. > :01:18.And the lingerie tycoon Michelle Mone tells us she'll leave
:01:19. > :01:24.I am so passionate about Scotland, I can't tell you...
:01:25. > :01:29.But if I don't believe in something, I'm not going to sit around
:01:30. > :01:37.What do RBS, TSB, Lloyds, Clydesdale and Tesco bank all have in common?
:01:38. > :01:40.They all have their registered head quarters
:01:41. > :01:43.in Scotland and they all say they are making plans to move them out
:01:44. > :01:48.Won't make any difference say the Yes campaign who insist no jobs
:01:49. > :01:55.or taxes will be lost to Scotland as a result.
:01:56. > :01:58.And while Waitrose and Asda may not seem to have very
:01:59. > :02:01.much in common, they both said today that they might have to put
:02:02. > :02:04.their prices up in an independent Scotland, after the Prime Minister
:02:05. > :02:07.In a moment, I'll be asking John Swinney and Danny Alexander
:02:08. > :02:24.Today, the battle centred on the banks. There has been plenty of
:02:25. > :02:28.political heat about the future of some of Scotland's biggest flag
:02:29. > :02:33.bearers. It is nothing but has not been implied before, but today there
:02:34. > :02:38.has been confirmation that the five banks with offices in Edinburgh
:02:39. > :02:46.would move. If Scotland vote "yes", RBS, Lloyds, Royal Bank of
:02:47. > :02:50.Scotland, and Clydesdale say they plan to move south of the border
:02:51. > :02:54.into England. Most of these banks already have offices in England, so
:02:55. > :02:59.it would not be difficult to do, and they are of all rushed to reassure
:03:00. > :03:04.staff in Scotland that jobs would not be at risk. So does it really
:03:05. > :03:10.matter? The two sides of the referendum campaign don't agree. I
:03:11. > :03:13.think the problem lies entirely with the No campaign. They have been
:03:14. > :03:21.caught red-handed as being part of a campaign of scaremongering. It is
:03:22. > :03:25.not about brass plates, it is about brass tax. This will cost us jobs,
:03:26. > :03:29.and funds that we need for the health service and for schools. In
:03:30. > :03:36.some ways, it would be business as usual. But it is likely to have an
:03:37. > :03:42.impact in another area. Tax. Pay tax is not a clear issue, as we saw with
:03:43. > :03:47.Amazon. It is much easier and more profitable to pay the bulk of its
:03:48. > :03:50.taxes in one country, and that often centres on where the company is
:03:51. > :03:54.registered. It is impossible to quantify an amount, but it is fair
:03:55. > :03:58.to say that Scotland will get less money in taxes without those big
:03:59. > :04:06.tank is that if they kept them. -- big banks. But there could be other
:04:07. > :04:10.benefits. There is a risk that RBS may need a second bailout, so if it
:04:11. > :04:14.is domiciled in London, that is something that the Scottish
:04:15. > :04:17.Government would not have to take responsibility for all stop
:04:18. > :04:22.arguably, that is a benefit. So why make the announcement now? RBS and
:04:23. > :04:25.Lloyds has said that they are responding to demand from customers
:04:26. > :04:31.and the market. Earlier this week, after the news of the first poll
:04:32. > :04:36.which put the Yes campaign ahead, stock slipped in value. The
:04:37. > :04:42.announcement today seem to work. At the end of the Day today, RBS and
:04:43. > :04:46.Lloyds prices were both up. Others don't think that independence would
:04:47. > :04:50.impact the financial industry. I think it is quite a business risk to
:04:51. > :04:59.announce it beforehand, but I suspect that RBS are 80% owned by
:05:00. > :05:02.the government, and Lloyds are mainly headquartered down here
:05:03. > :05:06.anyway, so I think it is a sensible move by both of them. For any bank,
:05:07. > :05:11.their profits and their customers are there are trees, and each of the
:05:12. > :05:15.big institutions to date CV best way to protect those as moving out of an
:05:16. > :05:20.independent Scotland. -- two dates either.
:05:21. > :05:23.And in our Edinburgh studio we have the Finance Secretary, John Swinney,
:05:24. > :05:28.And the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Danny Alexander.
:05:29. > :05:35.We are getting news of a new poll that will be any newspapers
:05:36. > :05:38.tomorrow, which have the No Camp at 52% and the Yes camp at 48. This is
:05:39. > :05:41.significant because it 52% and the Yes camp at 48. This is
:05:42. > :05:43.ball which gave the Yes camp 52% and the Yes camp at 48. This is
:05:44. > :05:46.at the weekend. John 52% and the Yes camp at 48. This is
:05:47. > :05:51.must be very disappointed to have lost you read? What I said at the
:05:52. > :05:59.weekend was that it was the one poor but at Sean is to be a head, and
:06:00. > :06:12.this poll shows that we are a challenger. It will simply encourage
:06:13. > :06:16.others to mobilise and motivate all of our people, the hundreds and
:06:17. > :06:22.thousands of people who are working throughout Scotland for a yes vote
:06:23. > :06:25.to work even harder. Danny Alexander, they like being the
:06:26. > :06:29.underdog. You can see that they are almost pleased that they are back
:06:30. > :06:33.behind, because it means they can motivate people to get out on the
:06:34. > :06:39.streets. Is there a danger of complacency in the No campaign?
:06:40. > :06:42.Absolutely not. It is very close at the moment, so we are going to be
:06:43. > :06:46.getting out as much as we can around Scotland to make the case that there
:06:47. > :06:52.are more powers for Scotland within the UK available if we vote no. That
:06:53. > :06:56.is a safe way to deliver the change that Scotland once, and there are
:06:57. > :07:00.enormous economic risks of independence, and I think over the
:07:01. > :07:04.last few days, people have started to understand and get those messages
:07:05. > :07:08.across to them, and my sense is that there is a quiet majority in
:07:09. > :07:12.Scotland who wants to keep the UK together, but we cannot take that
:07:13. > :07:17.for granted, we are going to have to work constantly to win every vote we
:07:18. > :07:22.can. John Swinney, there was an onslaught of bad news for you today,
:07:23. > :07:25.with every Scottish bank who have their legal headquarters in Scotland
:07:26. > :07:29.saying that they are making contingency plans to move them out
:07:30. > :07:34.of Scotland if there is a yes vote. That is not exactly a vote of
:07:35. > :07:39.confidence, is it? I think it demonstrates that the issue that
:07:40. > :07:41.concerns the banks is about the establishment of a currency union
:07:42. > :07:47.between Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom, after a yes vote,
:07:48. > :07:51.and that is the policy position of the Scottish Government, and if we
:07:52. > :07:56.get a yes vote, there will be an endorsement of that approach, which
:07:57. > :08:00.will get the UK parties round the table, and give us the opportunity
:08:01. > :08:03.to pursue what is in the common interest of both an independent
:08:04. > :08:09.Scotland and the rest of the UK. What is also clear from today is
:08:10. > :08:15.that the banks and recognise that the strength of their customer
:08:16. > :08:18.service, of airport performance, is based on the talented individuals
:08:19. > :08:24.who are based here in Scotland, and that will remain in terms of the
:08:25. > :08:29.decisions have -- that the banks have made today. In terms of the
:08:30. > :08:32.economic activity that stays in Scotland, does it make any
:08:33. > :08:36.difference really headquarters are? I think it does make a big
:08:37. > :08:39.difference. It depends where the are controlled from and regulated. Many
:08:40. > :08:44.countries in Europe discovered this during the financial crisis, that
:08:45. > :08:46.having all of the banks in your financial system regulated by a
:08:47. > :08:51.foreign country, was not a strong place to be, because banks look to
:08:52. > :08:56.where they are regulated to take their decisions, and I think there
:08:57. > :08:59.is no doubt that jobs would be affected, and over time, with the
:09:00. > :09:04.control and decision-making of these banks moving to what would be a
:09:05. > :09:08.foreign country, then inevitably jobs and economic activity would
:09:09. > :09:12.drift that way. Today there was a report from one of the premier
:09:13. > :09:15.international banks making the point that because of the changes to the
:09:16. > :09:23.financial system that we would experience, the adverse changes,
:09:24. > :09:28.then we could expect a fit to GDP of between 1% and 4%, which reflects
:09:29. > :09:31.the scale of the economic challenge that we face under independence. I
:09:32. > :09:34.think a lot of people look at these announcements and say that these are
:09:35. > :09:39.direct indications from companies who have been in Scotland for
:09:40. > :09:43.hundreds of years and don't want to move, that independence is extremely
:09:44. > :09:49.dangerous business. Let's move on to what voters may the more concerned
:09:50. > :09:53.about. Prices in the supermarkets. From Asda to Waitrose telling us
:09:54. > :09:57.that there is a good chance that they might go up. If anything is
:09:58. > :10:02.guaranteed to lose you bought it is the thought of food prices going up.
:10:03. > :10:08.This is a curious one, because the BBC has revealed tonight that in an
:10:09. > :10:10.amazing coincidence, the Prime Minister has had the leaders of
:10:11. > :10:12.supermarkets in an amazing coincidence, the Prime Minister has
:10:13. > :10:16.had the leaders of supermarkets in to see and to encourage them to
:10:17. > :10:22.speak out on this ago, said the exact opposite of what has been said
:10:23. > :10:27.today. Of course, better together or putting leaflets through the door is
:10:28. > :10:32.suggesting that Tesco was my prices would go after independence, and
:10:33. > :10:41.last weekend, Tesco said that there was not any truth in that. That is a
:10:42. > :10:44.problem, isn't it? Because of that mistake, which they asked you to
:10:45. > :10:48.kick back, people find it harder to believe it when he hears stories
:10:49. > :10:54.about anybody else saying they're putting their prices up. I had
:10:55. > :11:01.Charlie Mayfield, who runs the John Lewis on the phone this morning, and
:11:02. > :11:06.he said that when you're in a place with higher costs, and you are a
:11:07. > :11:09.separate country, so those costs are not shared over the whole of the
:11:10. > :11:14.United Kingdom, with distribution cost that we have and so on, then
:11:15. > :11:18.those costs will be passed directly on to consumers, and I think it is
:11:19. > :11:21.important that people here and these statements from these companies, who
:11:22. > :11:26.make up their own mind about what basic, they are not pushed into it
:11:27. > :11:29.by anybody, they are important businesses in who take decisions in
:11:30. > :11:34.the right way, but what this reveals is that independence would hit you
:11:35. > :11:41.where it hurts, right in the wallet in terms of higher prices, higher
:11:42. > :11:44.taxes, and higher mortgage costs. These are some of the many financial
:11:45. > :11:47.risks that we would all be running this country votes for independence
:11:48. > :11:51.next week. Thank you very much. Today,
:11:52. > :11:53.more than 7500 16 and 17-year-olds took part in one of the biggest
:11:54. > :11:55.televised debates in history. All of them will be able to vote
:11:56. > :12:00.in referendum and many of them Tonight they got to demand some
:12:01. > :12:03.answers from the adults Our political correspondent
:12:04. > :12:14.Lucy Adams was watching. It is not the usual recent working
:12:15. > :12:18.age is not the usual recent porting agers to it has been billed as one
:12:19. > :12:23.of the biggest ever televised political debate in history. 7500
:12:24. > :12:30.young people from across Scotland, from schools in a North, to the
:12:31. > :12:41.south. They are all here to ask how should they vote on I want to find
:12:42. > :12:45.out as much as I can, because I don't know how to vote. I want to
:12:46. > :12:57.know why the Westminster government did not allow devo max to be on the
:12:58. > :13:06.ballot paper? For me, society works from Iraq now in Britain, -- works
:13:07. > :13:13.for me right now in Britain. It is the venue more accustomed to big
:13:14. > :13:17.concerts. This is for young people to be able to scrutinise the
:13:18. > :13:25.campaigns. It is about engagement, and thousands of photographs. Behind
:13:26. > :13:35.me, 500 young people are ready and boys with their questions. They say
:13:36. > :13:41.they came for answers, and the questions came thick and fast. How
:13:42. > :13:46.can you claim we are better together when one in three children in
:13:47. > :13:51.Glasgow are in poverty? We already have an NHS and free education, so
:13:52. > :14:04.why risk everything? Patrick Harvie and restoration fees. -- addressed
:14:05. > :14:11.to wish these. You can be given a deal where you can be given higher
:14:12. > :14:14.education, but if you're going to be in terrible debt by the deadly
:14:15. > :14:20.finish, I think that is a scandal. George Galloway talked about
:14:21. > :14:24.desperation. Children are living in poverty throughout this land, and I
:14:25. > :14:28.am not prepared to slam the door and leave them behind. I am as concerned
:14:29. > :14:34.about food banks in Birmingham or Bradford or Newcastle and Liverpool
:14:35. > :14:42.as I am about them in Glasgow. The most heated debating was between
:14:43. > :14:47.Ruth Davidson and Nicola Sturgeon. The Secretary of State for Scotland
:14:48. > :14:57.said that more powers for Scotland was a red line for Westminster. The
:14:58. > :15:02.question was, who prevented more powers being on the ballot paper,
:15:03. > :15:05.and the answer is the Westminster government, that is why you can't
:15:06. > :15:16.trust them to deliver more powers now? You voted for more powers.
:15:17. > :15:27.Don't tell is that we don't fulfil our promises, because we did.
:15:28. > :15:33.It was too hectic. Everybody was screaming about each other. It's
:15:34. > :15:40.about independence but also our right to vote and have a say. It has
:15:41. > :15:44.awoken something in us. Did anyone when? It seems the audience did.
:15:45. > :15:47.And Lucy is here for us from the side of the Clyde.
:15:48. > :16:00.So far, we have heard an awful lot from politicians and people who are
:16:01. > :16:04.well beyond school age but for these 16 and 17-year-olds, this is about
:16:05. > :16:10.their choice next week, and this is a remarkable thing in that normally,
:16:11. > :16:15.they would not be allowed to vote, so this is unprecedented. Figures
:16:16. > :16:20.suggested that at least 100,016 and 17-year-olds will be voting next
:16:21. > :16:23.week, so for them, it is incredibly important.
:16:24. > :16:27.What else have we learned from these young voters?
:16:28. > :16:37.We learned a lot in terms of their engagement in politics and the BBC
:16:38. > :16:43.also did a questionnaire. More than 1000 responded and they talked
:16:44. > :16:49.about... They were asked to rank the 11 most important issues. Tuition
:16:50. > :16:54.fees was the top issue. After that came the economy. This is ranked
:16:55. > :16:59.generally as an adult's most important issue so it is the fact
:17:00. > :17:04.that all demographics say the economy is what really matters to
:17:05. > :17:09.them. Fifth in that ranking came pensions, which is interesting,
:17:10. > :17:14.given the age of the people. They also talked about the fact that
:17:15. > :17:18.three quarters said celebrity endorsements would not sway their
:17:19. > :17:27.vote one way or the other. Very interesting for an event which is
:17:28. > :17:30.usually for enormous concerts. Politics not normally such a rock
:17:31. > :17:34.'n' roll topic but the referendum is changing all that.
:17:35. > :17:37.Three young adults who were at the debate and will be voting
:17:38. > :17:42.Baraat Boataleb, who is planing to vote Yes, Max Yuill, who's a No,
:17:43. > :17:55.What did you make of the debate? I thought it was very informative. I
:17:56. > :17:59.felt it reinforced my decision. I thought Nicola Sturgeon was very
:18:00. > :18:08.good at fighting for the Yes campaign. You didn't hear other
:18:09. > :18:14.arguments that persuaded you? I didn't think George Galloway was as
:18:15. > :18:22.persuasive. Nicola Sturgeon made a very good argument. Did Nicola
:18:23. > :18:27.Sturgeon stirred you at all? She said interesting things but I think
:18:28. > :18:34.Ruth and George Galloway both made good points to counter it. It
:18:35. > :18:39.confirmed my vote. It was a great day to experience and see first
:18:40. > :18:47.hand. Sarah, did it help you make up your mind at all? To a certain
:18:48. > :18:52.extent, yes. I think Nicola and Ruth were two of the best debaters
:18:53. > :18:57.because they engaged with the audience more than the other two.
:18:58. > :19:06.What will it take to make up your mind? More information. A lot of us
:19:07. > :19:14.don't have... In schools, we don't talk about it. Just some more
:19:15. > :19:16.information. Maybe we'll see all again.
:19:17. > :19:19.Earlier this week, we heard from the Yes campaign supporter Alan Cumming.
:19:20. > :19:21.And tonight, it's the turn of the Scottish businesswoman
:19:22. > :19:25.The first time she voiced her opinions on the referendum,
:19:26. > :19:28.she received a lot of abuse on social media.
:19:29. > :19:31.When I caught up with her in our London studio, I asked how she felt
:19:32. > :19:45.Of course I am nervous but I am so passionate about my country and I
:19:46. > :19:52.just feel, like anyone out there, it's a free country and you should
:19:53. > :19:56.be allowed to express your opinion without being threatened, without
:19:57. > :20:05.being threatened by violence or anything like that. We just can't
:20:06. > :20:10.have the discussion. It doesn't have to turn into anger. You have even
:20:11. > :20:17.said you don't feel safe in Scotland as a result. If anyone was getting
:20:18. > :20:24.the amount of abuse and threats that everyone can see on my Twitter,
:20:25. > :20:28.anyone would be nervous. It's just human nature. It's an interesting
:20:29. > :20:34.feature of this debate that a lot of big businesses have come out and
:20:35. > :20:36.said they support a No vote were as entrepreneurs and small and
:20:37. > :20:41.medium-sized enterprises are more likely to support a Yes vote. You
:20:42. > :20:46.are one of a small number of self starting entrepreneurs who have come
:20:47. > :20:52.out for a No vote. I love being Scottish, tour around the world, I
:20:53. > :20:57.love having business in Scotland. But at the end of the day, I think
:20:58. > :21:03.it will be really hard, not being part of the UK. We don't know what
:21:04. > :21:08.will happen to our Armed Forces or what will bring money into business
:21:09. > :21:14.as well. There are so many questions, Sarah, there have been
:21:15. > :21:19.unanswered. The pound, for me, is a real worry because the Bank of
:21:20. > :21:28.England have said that the pound is not ours. How can we say it is? Once
:21:29. > :21:32.we... If we were to become independent, do we go through all
:21:33. > :21:41.this hassle for two or three years? Meanwhile, right now, people are
:21:42. > :21:46.holding back, saying, don't invest in Scotland until we see what will
:21:47. > :21:51.happen. Inward investment will not happen for many years to come until
:21:52. > :21:56.everything calms down. Will it ever come back? I don't think so. The
:21:57. > :22:00.Scottish Government are promising that if there is independence,
:22:01. > :22:03.corporation tax will always be 3p lower than the rest of the UK. That
:22:04. > :22:14.would be great news for businesses like yours. Yes, but there are so
:22:15. > :22:18.many other things as well. What Gordon Brown has announced is that
:22:19. > :22:23.we will get more power, we can deal with the issues in Scotland but we
:22:24. > :22:28.don't have to vote for independence. It doesn't mean to say that if you
:22:29. > :22:32.vote no because you don't know the questions, you don't know the
:22:33. > :22:36.answers to the question is, it doesn't mean to say that if you vote
:22:37. > :22:40.no, you are not passionate about Scotland. I am so passionate about
:22:41. > :22:44.Scotland and love Scotland to death but I don't think this is the
:22:45. > :22:49.answer. If you vote no, don't think it is saying you don't love
:22:50. > :22:53.Scotland. People have to sit back, look at all the facts, do their
:22:54. > :22:58.homework over the next number of days and have to say, what will this
:22:59. > :23:05.mean for me and my job and the income for my family and inward
:23:06. > :23:10.investment into Scotland and about us losing big contracts that have
:23:11. > :23:14.already been spoken about? Too many issues, too much risk. If there is
:23:15. > :23:20.too much risk in any business, don't do it. Isn't that hard to say that
:23:21. > :23:24.you passionately love Scotland and yet you also say he would leave the
:23:25. > :23:28.country if the vote doesn't go your way? That's my belief and I don't
:23:29. > :23:34.want to be part of something I don't believe in. I am so passionate about
:23:35. > :23:37.Scotland, I can't tell you. I fly the flag everywhere I go but if I
:23:38. > :23:45.don't believe in something, I will not sit around and watch everything
:23:46. > :23:51.crumble. I do love the people of Scotland and Scotland but I really
:23:52. > :23:55.do think that this is a big mistake and I am not saying for one minute
:23:56. > :23:56.that mean making a decision to go will make any difference because it
:23:57. > :23:59.won't. Joining me now to discuss the rest
:24:00. > :24:03.of the day's news are former SNP MSP and now regular co-host of
:24:04. > :24:05.Radio Scotland's Crossfire programme Andrew Wilson and
:24:06. > :24:22.Professor of Public Law and Better Let's talk about this latest poll we
:24:23. > :24:32.have the details of tonight. No on 52% and yes on 48%. Are you
:24:33. > :24:45.surprised? It is not where we have been for a big part of the summer at
:24:46. > :24:50.all. There has been a definitive shift in sentiment towards yes.
:24:51. > :24:53.Whether it is enough remains to be seen but people are buoyant,
:24:54. > :24:57.optimistic and it appears that hope is conquering all the fears we are
:24:58. > :25:01.hearing from politicians from London. This is close to being
:25:02. > :25:06.within the margin of error and it could mean things are absolutely
:25:07. > :25:13.neck and neck. Do you think that is the truth? It's better to be in
:25:14. > :25:23.front and behind. I would rather be 52%, 48% up than down. My view is
:25:24. > :25:28.that this is pretty close. Both camps recognise it is pretty close
:25:29. > :25:32.and both camps are working flat out and the energy is there on both
:25:33. > :25:37.sides. You can see what Labour were doing today when they put 100 MPs on
:25:38. > :25:41.a train up to London and they all came up to Glasgow en masse to come
:25:42. > :25:47.and knock on doors and speak to people in the street. They just
:25:48. > :25:52.about filled up a virgin train. It's something like that, which looked
:25:53. > :26:01.like a stunt, going to help? I don't know. Both campaigns need a lot of
:26:02. > :26:09.Panton mine and fun and colour as well as serious hard work and
:26:10. > :26:13.arguments. In the last five or six days, things will really boil down
:26:14. > :26:17.to whether we have the answers to basic questions. When I go
:26:18. > :26:22.canvassing, that is what folk want to hear, they want to know what the
:26:23. > :26:26.currency will be, what the future security of their kids will be and
:26:27. > :26:33.it is all about... There is lots of televisual stuff and hard work going
:26:34. > :26:36.on and on the street. Our bed together going to spend the next
:26:37. > :26:44.week telling people there are huge economic risks? -- art Better
:26:45. > :26:50.Together. It will reinforce that sense of economic risk for people.
:26:51. > :26:53.Better Together have spent the entire campaign telling people that
:26:54. > :26:58.the world will end tomorrow. They have been caught out each and every
:26:59. > :27:02.time. The banks did not say that. They said they would move their
:27:03. > :27:06.legal entities from Scotland to London but the chief executive of
:27:07. > :27:14.RBS to all staff it would not affect their jobs or operations. You cannot
:27:15. > :27:18.be saying it makes no difference at all where they are headquartered.
:27:19. > :27:23.Eventually, the gravitational pull of the brass plaque in London will
:27:24. > :27:31.mean the company will feel like an Englishman. Let's see what will
:27:32. > :27:34.happen. Hopefully, we will have a vibrant Scottish economy. A big part
:27:35. > :27:39.of the case for yes is that over decades, businesses have left
:27:40. > :27:44.Scotland to relocate to London, talent has left Scotland. We want to
:27:45. > :27:48.tip the playing field back in our direction. What is unforgivable is
:27:49. > :27:52.that the Prime Minister and others will not come up and engage properly
:27:53. > :27:55.with voters but will spend their time using the offices of Downing
:27:56. > :28:03.Street to persuade in control as we found out from Robert Preston
:28:04. > :28:07.tonight to say what they want to say. I don't think people buy it.
:28:08. > :28:13.London woke up to what is happening only this weekend. Their tactics
:28:14. > :28:20.have varied from the almost frenzied, laughable attempts to
:28:21. > :28:27.quite irresponsible. The fact that Andrew is trading in conspiracy
:28:28. > :28:34.theories just shows how panicked the Yes campaign. The No campaign are
:28:35. > :28:44.looking pretty panicked as well. Gordon Brown out every day at the
:28:45. > :28:50.moment. Hinting today he might return to front line politics. I was
:28:51. > :28:53.there to listen to Gordon Brown and he gave an absolutely compelling
:28:54. > :29:00.speech. I will tell you what is driving him back, it is the
:29:01. > :29:05.outrageous lies we have heard in the last 7-12 days from the Yes campaign
:29:06. > :29:08.on the future of the NHS, which is the worst example of scaremongering
:29:09. > :29:13.we have had in the entire campaign. That is what is driving him back to
:29:14. > :29:20.front line politics. Do you think you will stand as a front line MSP?
:29:21. > :29:25.I don't know. The one thing that is clear is that one of the things that
:29:26. > :29:32.has triggered the rise of support for the No campaign in the last
:29:33. > :29:36.couple of weeks is the outrageous lie we have about privatisation of
:29:37. > :29:43.the NHS from the Yes campaign. I don't know where you got that from.
:29:44. > :29:51.Gordon Brown is already a front line politician. Again, it killer is how
:29:52. > :29:55.it all comes to the fore. On the NHS, what is what is true is what we
:29:56. > :29:59.have argued all along, that the budget is at risk. That is why there
:30:00. > :30:03.was a massive demonstration in Trafalgar Square this week. Did we
:30:04. > :30:10.all miss a meeting? There is something going on when the NHS
:30:11. > :30:15.budgets are linked. The truth of it is that Scotland needs to have
:30:16. > :30:19.control over all resources at its disposal so we can take these
:30:20. > :30:24.decisions for ourselves. We don't need to trust the Ed Miliband will
:30:25. > :30:28.beat David Cameron to win the next election because most people in
:30:29. > :30:34.Scotland don't trust either of them. Do you trust the new powers promised
:30:35. > :30:43.by the Unionist parties? Or three Unionist parties have now delivered
:30:44. > :30:46.devolution for Scotland. Voters should absolutely trust in that.
