THE big winners of the election north and south of the border faced off over powers for the Scottish Parliament — and a possible second independence referendum — in Edinburgh yesterday.

David Cameron told Nicola Sturgeon that another referendum was “not remotely on the cards” despite suggestions from senior members of the SNP that it could be in their manifesto for the 2016 Holyrood elections.

First Minister Ms Sturgeon said she would “put forward proposals for devolution further than the Smith Commission” to which the Prime Minister responded that he did not rule out “other changes if sensible suggestions are made.”
