.@Ianblackford_MP "Yesterday, the founder of BrewDog warned - 'the end of the Job Retention Scheme will lead to a tsunami of unemployment.'" #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP: "BrewDog is just one of thousands of businesses across Scotland and the UK demanding the Tory government U-turn on its reckless plans to scrap the furlough scheme.

There are now just two weeks left to save people’s jobs and livelihoods." #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP: "Prime Minister – in the next fortnight you have two choices. Extend the full furlough scheme or inflict a tsunami of unemployment on our people this winter.

Which are you going to choose?" #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP: "I’m afraid the Prime Minister still doesn’t get it. People don’t want to hear his boasting or excuses. They want action.

Thousands have already lost their jobs. We are heading towards a Tory winter crisis of mass unemployment." #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP: "We know what his Tory colleagues are saying.

The Prime Minister’s next job could be on the backbenches – he just doesn’t know it yet." #PMQs
