Alistair Darling has been talking about the latest polls

The battle for Scotland’s future remains on a knife edge with just days to go before the referendum.

A independent analysis of the six most recent polls put the Yes campaign on 49 per cent and No on 51 per cent.

Panelbase put Yes on 49.4 per cent and No on 50.6 per cent; Survation had Yes on 46 per cent and No on 54 per cent; Opinium had Yes on 47 per cent and No on 53 per cent; but, most dramatically and against the trend, ICM had Yes on 54 per cent and No on 46 per cent.

They followed two close polls by ICM on Friday and YouGov on Thursday.
