Ian Blackford resigns as leader of SNP group at Westminster
"Now is the right time for fresh leadership at Westminster"
"Now is the right time for fresh leadership at Westminster"
Ian Blackford branded the UK’s departure from the EU the ‘elephant in the room that neither the Tories or Labour are willing to confront’.
“The problem for both the Prime Minister and the Labour leader is that when it comes to Brexit, even their own voters don’t agree with them."
The former prime minister has flown back to the UK, with many in his party tipping him to return to power after Liz Truss dramatically quit.
"Shameful, disgraceful and a waste of Scotland's time."
“Democracy has spoken in Scotland, it has spoken before and it will speak again and again," he told the Commons.
The SNP leader urged the PM to match the "game-changing" child payment scheme introduced in Scotland.
The SNP leader said - again and again - that Johnson had "wilfully misled Parliament", before being tossed out by the Speaker.
"Mr Johnson is giving people another telling insight into his odious character," Ian Blackford's deputy said.
