Ed Miliband speech on Scottish independence

Ed Miliband speech on Scottish independence; Miliband speech SOT - And tackling this wider inequality, this injustice, this unfairness is the mission for politics. Today I want to make that case. The case for a fair, just and equal United Kingdom, with Scotland part of it. Not a case based on fear of separatism. But a case based on hope.

My story is repeated a million times across the United Kingdom. My story shows that this country has been a refuge to many and a cause to fight for. And therefore, if the people of Scotland decide to separate, as they can, it would not affect Scotland alone. It will affect all ...
