LABOUR leader Ed Miliband blasted Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond yesterday saying he “didn’t have an answer on the pound.”

Mr Miliband went on to rule out a “eurozone-style currency union” with an independent Scotland if Labour wins the 2015 general election in May, during a visit to the Scottish Chambers of Commerce in Glasgow.

The First Minister has held to the position that Scotland would keep a formal currency union with the rest of Britain despite intense political pressure following his bruising TV debate with Better Together leader Alistair Darling earlier in the week.
