Cameron and Miliband turn on Salmond

The leaders of the two main Westminster parties joined together in the House of Commons today in pledging to fight for Scotland to remain part of the United Kingdom.

Prime Minister David Cameron said he was "passionately" in favour of the preservation of the Union and "sad" that the question of independence had been raised, but was ready to work with the Scottish Government to ensure that a "legal, fair and decisive" referendum can take place.
