Scotland on Sunday cartoon: Independence TV debate
The Prime Minister formally refused to go head-to-head with Scotland’s First Minister in a televised debate on the independence referendum.
The issue is a matter for “Scots living in Scotland” and should not become a glorified general election, David Cameron wrote in a letter to Alex Salmond.
Any TV debate should instead involve Alistair Darling, the Labour MP leading the Better Together campaign to keep Scotland in the United Kingdom, he claimed.
