RMT votes to endorse Yes campaign
SCOTTISH members of transport union RMT backed a Yes vote on independence yesterday in a shock ballot result
The result represents a loss of face for the Labour Party, coming shortly after it announced an escalation of its campaign for a united Britain.
SNP Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she welcomed the result.
“It is a humiliation for Ed Miliband,” added Ms Sturgeon, “on the same day as his latest visit to Scotland, it completely demolishes his claims to be the authentic voice of working-class, Labour-minded voters across Scotland.”
