09.30 Here’s James Forsyth on Ed Miliband’s speech in reaction to the referendum:
Ed Miliband has just spoken to a Labour rally in Glasgow. He declared that ‘change begins today’. But he didn’t respond to Cameron’s statement this morning on English votes for English laws. All he said on the question was that devolution for England is a good idea, but there were no details on what he wanted. I suspect, though, Labour will stick to their city regions plan. Miliband tried to frame the Scottish vote as one for solidarity and change. He emphasised how Labour would change the country and ensure that it didn’t just work for those at the top. Expect this to be the central theme of his conference speech. One other striking thing was that Miliband paid only the briefest tribute to Gordon Brown, mentioning him as one of many Labour figures who had fought the good fight on this. We wait to see if Brown himself will move to take credit for last night’s result.
