THE communications chief of Strathclyde Police has been headhunted for a £100,000 role at Better Together, the 'No' campaign in the forthcoming independence referendum.
The appointment of Rob Shorthouse is seen as a statement of intent by the campaign and a clear sign that money will be no object when it comes to defending the Union.
One source at Better Together said: "From our point of view his experience and background is outstanding, with an ability to reach beyond many of the usual message-carriers and across all parts of Scotland."
