The Scotsman cartoon: William Hague and independence
Scotland faces “a more immediately uncertain world” if it votes for independence, Foreign Secretary William Hague has said.

Mr Hague was in Glasgow yesterday to launch the latest in a series of UK Government Scotland Analysis papers, with today’s focus on the European Union (EU) and international issues.
