Salmond warns Labour will pay a 'heavy price'

Labour politicians will pay a price "for a generation" for campaigning alongside Conservatives in the independence referendum, Alex Salmond has said.

The outgoing Scottish First Minister told BBC1's The Andrew Marr Show:

The role, hand-in-glove, shoulder-to-shoulder with the Conservative Party in the referendum campaign is not going to be either forgotten or forgiven for a generation in Scottish politics.
