So I am told Carney means neither rUK or Scotland would remain properly sovereign nations if Sc goes indie & we have currency union. Hmmm

David W McKay: Mr Carney says that a currency union requires the loss of a certain amount of sovereignty but whatever sort of union you enter to requires some loss of sovereignty. The UK ceded lots of powers to the EU when it joined. Did the ceding of those powers mean that joining the EU was bad for the UK? It then comes down to an assessment of whether the gains outweigh the losses, and that will be the same for Scotland if it voted for independence.

Colin Jack: Ceding of the powers required as part of a currency union have already been recognised and form part of the "Yes" campaign's overall currency plan.

Nicola Walters: Surely a high proportion of Scots realise that Alex Salmond has offered them nothing but lies (for example the "Stop the NHS being privatised" argument) and empty promises (such as his insistence Scotland would keep the pound). Scots are intelligent people, so why haven't more of them realised that staying within the United Kingdom is the only viable option? Every logical argument is against Scottish independence.

The Saltire has been raised over Downing Street, though a lack of wind seems to be a problem.

David Munro: I have asked the nationalists on numerous occasion one simple question, which is "why do you want to make your largest trading partner a competitor?" I have never received an answer.

Angela Robertson: It is embarrassing to witness the feeble efforts of the No campaign in the last couple of days where they are trying to address the independence vote potentially "breaking up Britain".

The stable door has been open for a while and the horses have well and truly bolted. Flying flags, making vague promises and charging up to Scotland en masse will only alienate a disenfranchised Scottish electorate even further.

First Minister Alex Salmond has said the Queen "will be proud" to be the monarch of an independent Scotland.

The SNP leader dismissed press reports that Her Majesty was concerned about the prospect of Scottish independence.

He said he had an audience with the Queen at Balmoral Castle two weeks ago but would not say what was discussed.

Paul Kenny, general secretary of the GMB, described Mark Carney's comments as "a breath of fresh air".

He added: "People keep talking about whether there is a Plan B or Plan C, but there aren't any, because it is incompatible, as the governor has made clear."

Bank of England governor Mark Carney has said that "a currency union is incompatible with sovereignty".

Mr Carney made the comment in a question and answer session at the TUC Congress in Liverpool.

The comments echo a speech the Bank of England governor made in Edinburgh in January, when he said: "A durable, successful currency union requires some ceding of national sovereignty."

Scott Christian: With attention on the new powers being drawn up by Westminster and the uncertainty with what those powers will be, everyone is forgetting the enormous uncertainty associated with an independent Scotland. At least with a No vote we can be certain for more powers, a Yes vote still has uncertainty on basic concerns such as currency, defence and pensions.

Anne McGregor: The PM has been "invited" on numerous occasions to come to Scotland to debate with the FM. Why is he only putting in a token appearance now? Because he has woken up to the fact that the Scots may choose their own destiny. This shows the arrogance of the Westminster establishment. Devo-max could have been offered at the outset but wasn't. This is too little too late.

Adam Burley: 'Politician promises…'. Is this not an oxymoron?

Martin Cannell: Why on Earth are we giving Scotland more powers just to keep them in the United Kingdom? They either want independence or not. Cameron, Brown etc are just campaigning for popularity and canvassing because of the forthcoming general election. Scotland cannot have its cake and eat it.

Downing Street will raise the Saltire flag this afternoon, ahead of a visit by the prime minister to Scotland tomorrow.

BBC Scotland's Jackie Bird has been speaking to the chief counting officer Mary Pitcaithly about the organisational challenge she faces.

The referendum is expected to have Scotland's highest ever voter turnout.

Once polling places close and votes are counted, it will Ms Pitcaithly's job to formally announce the legally-binding result.

The BBC's Political Reporter Justin Parkinson examines what the various unions across the country think of independence.

Who is for? Who wants Scotland to remain part of the United Kingdom? What role do the unions play?

Mr Cameron was asked if cancelling Prime Minister's Questions, rushing through plans to devolve more powers to Scotland and raising the Saltire over Downing Street were not desperate last-ditch moves by the No campaign.

He was asked: If Scotland does vote for independence, can you stay as prime minister?

Mr Cameron said: "I care passionately about the United Kingdom and I want to do everything I can to put the arguments in front of the people. In the end it is for the Scottish people to decide. But I want them to know that the rest of the United Kingdom, and I speak as prime minister, want them to stay."

As we reported earlier, Labour leader Ed Miliband has called for the Saltire to be flown across the UK.

Here's Mr Miliband and Liverpool's Labour mayor Joe Anderson pictured with the flag.

Paul Gillon in Fife: Well well, nothing changes. 1979 "vote no and we'll give you better devolution." Tory Alec Douglas Hume 2014 -10 days to the vote. "Vote No and we'll give you better devolution" Gordon Brown et al. No wonder Westminster is not trusted.

Anon: What happens if a hung parliament produces a Ukip coalition who have not signed up for more devolution?

Donald Booth: As a Scottish Conservative voter, I find it hugely frustrating and disgusting that the Yes campaign constantly dismisses our vote as irrelevant. Alex Salmond and the Yes campaign constantly state that they speak for the Scottish people. Even worse they tell each demographic group in Scotland what they want to hear regardless of reality.

Government sources say voters like it when politicians put aside their differences and nowhere, frankly, is that seen more clearly than in the role given to Gordon Brown.

We now have a situation where the man David Cameron replaced as prime minister is, by and large, fronting the campaign to save the union which, in time, may save David Cameron's neck.

So these two men who were at loggerheads, personally and politically, are having to work together to keep the union.

I don't think the three leaders will be seen together in Scotland tomorrow.

Speaking to one Downing Street person, his phrase was "they will spread the magic around".

What he means by that is that they will make their own pitches to their own constituencies.

So, you won't see David Cameron having to make the case with Ed Miliband to some miners in Scotland's heartlands and you won't see Ed Miliband having to make his case to a bowling club in Morningside.

No doubt the nationalists will pick on the fact the Westminster party leaders will not campaign together.

They will say 'they are coming up here but they can't even get up on the same platform together, they are still at sixes and sevens'.

There is an element of risk of course because the danger is they can be portrayed as suddenly parachuting into Scotland at the last minute to tell people what to think.

But the view of all three party leaders is that the risk is outweighed by fact of being perceived to be coming together, that sense of unity, that sense of the importance that all three party leaders attach to the issue of keeping Scotland in the union.

[They think this is] so important they are willing to set aside the main parliamentary event of the week, Prime Minister's Questions.
