Ed Miliband is to visit Scotland the day after appearing to
rule out a deal with the SNP - even it meant putting the Conservatives in
power.
It comes after SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon said Scottish
voters would never forgive Labour if it allowed the Conservatives back into
office.
The Tories said Mr Miliband faced "wipeout by the
Sturgeon tsunami".
The Liberal Democrats have claimed the SNP views the
election as a stepping stone to another independence vote.
Labour leader Mr Miliband said during a special BBC Question
Time programme on Thursday evening that a Labour government is "not going
to happen" if the price of power was doing a deal with the SNP.
He added: "I'm not going to sacrifice the future of our
country, the unity of our country, I'm not going to give in to SNP demands
around Trident, around the deficit or anything like that."

Mr Miliband has come under sustained pressure from the
Conservatives throughout the election campaign over the prospect of a
Labour-SNP deal in the event of a hung parliament.
