Tories 'bullying' Scotland on the pound
Nicola Sturgeon claims ban on currency union aims to force a No vote on independence
Tories are trying to “bully” Scotland into voting against independence by ruling out a formal currency union, Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon claimed yesterday.
Ms Sturgeon said reports that Chancellor George Osborne would reject any deal allowing an independent Scotland to keep the pound were a scare tactic before the referendum.
Mr Osborne has already said it is “unlikely” that the rest of Britain would agree to a currency union.
