Row over Salmond rival poll sabotage claims

ALEX Salmond has not denied allegations he told George Osborne that he would use the police to sabotage a rival independence referendum, it has been claimed.

Lord Forsyth of Drumlean, the peer who made the accusations, said no-one in the First Minister’s office had said they were untrue.

The former Tory Scottish secretary also said that he had received confirmation of the alleged threats to Mr Osborne, the Chancellor, in the last week.
