Scottish Labour leader Johann Lamont urged the STUC in Dundee yesterday not to let the independence referendum "divide our movement or distract from our common purpose of creating a more just Scotland."

Ms Lamont stepped into the same cockpit as First Minister Alex Salmond endured on Monday, facing tough questions from delegates after her speech.

She said Mr Salmond's policies for an independent Scotland were more geared to bosses such as Ineos owner Jim Ratcliffe and airline chief Willie Walsh.
