ANOTHER ­Labour figure has thrown his weight behind a Yes vote in the upcoming referendum.

Former Lord Provost of Glasgow Alex Mosson revealed his support two weeks after former Strathclyde Regional Council leader Sir Charles Gray also said he would back independence.

Mr Mosson, 73, said: "This is not a time for party politics. The decision we'll be making next September is too important for that.

"This referendum is the people of Scotland, and our right to self-determination."
