SNP Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Scottish Labour leader Johann Lamont targeted each other’s party supporters yesterday as the independence referendum countdown entered its final fortnight.

Campaigning in Govan in the heart of Ms Sturgeon’s Glasgow Southside constituency, Ms Lamont urged SNP supporters not to “take a punt” on voting Yes to independence.

“We know that in 2011 people voted for the SNP as a recognition of the success of devolution and there are significant numbers of SNP voters who are voting No,” she said.
