Today even more so at PMQs, Blackford cut off his nose to spite his face it was hilarious. Silly fool.

Obviously had nothing to contribute the ongoing Brexit debate in the Chamber......... Somewhat childish. Portraying the party as simply one interest.

No. The 'power grab' story lead on both BBC and Sky news with Blackford explaining clearly what is going on. More coverage in a few hours than this issue has ever had. It's still on loop now with various unionist MP's being rolled out to carp on. Mundell is on now floundering to respond promising half hearted and clearly hastily arranged ( and previously non-existent ) devolution debates.

But it doesn't matter, the ticker tape has Blackford quotes about 'Tories disrespecting Scotland' and being 'proud to have stood up for Scotland' plastered everywhere for the Scottish unaware. The media have tried to bury this issue for months now. Blackford and the SNP just made it top billing across the board. Job done I think.

Job done...but only if you consider embarrassing yourself, the SNP and the people of Scotland.

Especially since he was offered what he asked for. I think Shakey has just confirmed that is was just petulant grandstanding.

The only folk who disrespect the majority of Scots are the Nats.

All good though as it is just another nail in their coffin.

He wasn't offered what he asked for and he couldn't predict he'd be expelled. The purpose was to highlight what the Scottish media have shamefully - and up until now - successfully tried to hide. Devolution and Home rule for Scotland being dismantled and also to highlight the disgraceful so called devolution 'debate' yesterday which took 19 mins and had not ONE Scottish MP speak in it.


Most ordinary folks who don't follow politics very closely had no idea. Well they dae noo.

Just been announced over 1000 new SNP member sign ups in the last few hours alone. They've played a blinder, and it looks like it's starting to snowball. :T

They should have shown how serious they were by threatening to boycott English money.
That would scare us!

I watched it today as well ... interesting times ahead lol

I saw also a load of people joined the SNP .... I'm gonna admit ... much as it was good to watch I didn't feel the urge to join

.string.

I watched PMQ today, as I often do, and saw Blackford's theatrics.

The whole thing was clearly pre-planned. Blackford got what he asked for, a vote for a debate on his current pet whinge, which the Speaker in effect offered after PMQ. But being clearly after a reason for a mass SNP walkout, and Plan A (outright denial of any vote at all) having failed he went to Plan B and by his disrespectful behaviour Blackford gave the Speaker no choice but to send him to the naugty step, followed obedient by his gaggle of MPs.

The SNP use the lie of Westminster disrespect for Scotland to sow anti UK sentiment but the truth of it is that while there is disrespect it is not for the Scots, it is for the SNP. Every time they open their mouth it is about their hobby-horse and nout else. They are simply not worth listening to. As far as looking after Scotland's interests in the here and now, they are completely ineffective. An MP is meant to represent his constituents, not just his own hangups.

As for the power-grab claim, I'd like to see it debated, but I simply don't believe that the SNP really want that; as usual they like their fairy tales to go undebated. Until or if it happens however, I'm not going to waste time reading or listening to spitefull SNP bile.

Pity these people don't have jobs . Though be surprised if Parliament would be their daytime choice of television. Spin ultimately becomes self defeating. As obviously complete and utter nonsense.

As much as one might dislike Trump. At least he knows how to negotiate effectively.
