The former Daily Mirror editor tweeted to his 4.2m followers: “OK, Scotland, you’ve had your fun. Now just quietly vote ‘NO’ and we’ll say no more about it.”
It prompted a host of responses from pro-independence tweeters, with user @BryanMcGill81 telling the chat show host: “That’ll just get more folk voting Yes” and @cosworthlady asking: “Why do you want to keep us?”
