📢 @neilgraysnp: "It's been hard for everybody to face restrictions on our daily lives, but the vast majority of people have respected the rules for all of our collective benefit and I hope this will continue." #bbcdn

Let's stick with it, Scotland 👇

📢@neilgraysnp: "We're reliant on Boris Johnson having the moral compass to strike trade deals on Scotland's behalf.

The #InternalMarketBill that passed gives the UK gov't unfettered access to devolved areas and leading to a race to the bottom." #bbcdn

📢 @neilgraysnp: "The only way we can protect the Scottish Parliament's ability to function properly, without interference from Westminster, is to become independent - and I'm looking forward to Scotland having that choice very soon." #bbcdn

.@StephenFlynnSNP: "On Monday the Prime Minister outlined what he considers to be extremist threats to our society.

In doing so, he actively compared North Korea, Iran and Russia with those people in Scotland who believe in independence." #PMQs Image
.@StephenFlynnSNP: "So can I ask him to rise once to the standards befitting his office and apologise for those puerile and pathetic remarks?" #PMQs Image
@StephenFlynnSNP .@StephenFlynnSNP: "Let's be clear, what the PM did was not just equate my colleagues and I with dangerous despots across the world.

He proactively compared almost half of the Scottish population with a war criminal like Putin. And he did so as their Prime Minister." #PMQs Image

📣 First Minister @HumzaYousaf at #FMQs: "You can judge a man by the company he keeps, and Douglas Ross's company is Boris Johnson, the Conservative Party of Liz Truss, Suella Braverman, Priti Patel, formerly Lee Anderson, Mark Menzies, Peter Bone, Chris Pincher..."
HY: "Andrew Bridgen, Frank Hester...and I can see Douglas Ross looking more and more embarrassed. That's the company he keeps. I'm very proud of John Swinney, Kate Forbes, and all the company I keep." #FMQs
HY: "Our anti-poverty measures, they are estimated to lift 100,000 children out of poverty this year - in very stark contrast to the Conservatives." #FMQs

First Minister @HumzaYousaf at #FMQs: "Douglas Ross says we all have a zero tolerance approach to hate crime. I'm not entirely convinced, when you take money from a racist misogynist and then refuse to give it back, that is a zero tolerance approach whatsoever."
HY: "Those stirring-up offences for racial hatred have existed since 1986. We are simply extending those offences to other marginalised groups." #FMQs
HY: "I think it's important for Douglas Ross to be honest, to tell people, who is it he thinks is not deserving of those protections, in the same way I've been protected because of my race since 1986?" #FMQs

.@MhairiBlack: "For two reasons I think we should scrap the Rwanda policy all together.

First of all, from a moral compass. I think it is a barbaric system, there is no such thing as an illegal human being - especially not those who are fleeing war and persecution." #bbcqt
.@MhairiBlack: "Even if you just look at it from a financial argument. The UK Gov'ts own figures show that the taxpayer will pay £169,000 per migrant - that's to send one person to Rwanda.

It's going to cost £1.8bn to deport all 11,000 people that have arrived this year." #bbcqt
@MhairiBlack .@MhairiBlack: "If the Tories are serious about spending money in good places, it would have been a good idea over the last decade not to keep implementing austerity, not to hand out COVID contracts out to their pals for PPE that wasn't fit." #bbcqt

.@MhairiBlack: "The DPM said it was his duty to furnish people with 'the facts that are available' in regards to Brexit.

Brexit Britain faces higher food prices, a lack of workers, a shrinking economy & a decline in living standards. Why is he happy to ignore those facts?" #PMQs Image
.@MhairiBlack: "The only thing more deluded than that defence of Brexit, is Labour's support for it.

Just today, the world's fourth largest car manufacturer said Brexit was 'a threat to our export business and the sustainability of our of UK manufacturing options'." #PMQs
.@MhairiBlack: "Even Nigel Farage can admit Brexit has failed, so Mr Speaker, why can't the Deputy Prime Minister?" #PMQs
