Indyref: Miliband Says 'Don't Vote Yes Out Of Tory Fear'

The Labour leader says Scots shouldn't vote for independence out of fear of getting a Tory government.

Ed Miliband will give a speech at Blantyre miner's community centre later to spell out his party's "contract" with Scottish voters.

Yes campaigners say independence is the only way to guarantee that people here always get the government they vote for.

Mr Miliband is expected to say "the Labour movement has always been a movement for change" that has "its eyes on a better future."
 
Adding: "My message to all those voters that share our passion for change is this:
 
"The choice in this referendum campaign is not about change with yes or more of the same with No.
 
"No.
 
"It is what kind of change you want.
 
"The change we need to build a fairer country with Labour, or the change of erecting a new border which is the only ambition of nationalists.
 
"I want to be very clear about the change I offer you in just eight months as Prime Minister.
 
"It is a changed Labour Party that is ready to change Britain
 
"This is my contract with the people of Scotland
 
"We will freeze your energy bills, we will raise the minimum wage, we will introduce fairer taxes, including a new lower starting rate of 10p and a new higher rate of 50p. We will tax the bankers’ bonuses and put our young people back to work.

"Now the SNP want to tell you we can’t defeat the Tories - they are wrong.
 
"Change is coming in the UK. The Tories are on their way out.
 
"They are losing their MPs.
 
"They are defecting, divided and downhearted.
 
"Even Ruth Davidson says David Cameron isn’t on course to be in Downing Street in a matter of months.
 
"A Labour government is within our grasp.
 
"With that election in just 8 months time the change Scotland needs is on its way.
 
"Electing a Labour government is the way to change Scotland
 
"It is the way to build a just Scotland.
 
"The choice for social justice is NO not yes.
 
"Let’s make that change happen together.”
