SNP 'not fit for purpose' - Reid

Home Secretary John Reid has become the latest Labour heavyweight to attack Nationalists at the Scottish Labour Conference in Oban.

Dr Reid, MP for Airdrie and Shotts, said the SNP were unfit to face the great challenges of the coming decades.

He said international terrorism, organised crime, mass migration and the environment did not stop at the border.

SNP leader Alex Salmond claimed Labour was "scared stiff" of his party and acting in its own self-interest.

Dr Reid's comments came after similar attacks by Prime Minister Tony Blair and Chancellor Gordon Brown.
