The explosive consequences of a Yes vote

The futures of David Cameron and Labour leader Ed Miliband hang in the balance. Emily Hohler reports.

The efforts of the No machine appear to be "turning to dust", says Dan Hodges on his Daily Telegraph blog. With just a week to go before the referendum, a surge of support in favour of an independent Scotland is underway.

This is largely Labour's fault. It may seem unfair to "drop the burden of safeguarding 300 years of political union" on Ed Miliband, but Labour was always going to bear most of the responsibility for winning a referendum of four million voters who collectively voted for just one Tory MP at the last general election.
