📢 @Ianblackford_MP: “Thank you, Mr Speaker and can I thank the Prime Minister for his comments on the Ballymurphy inquest.” #PMQs

📢 @Ianblackford_MP: "Mr Speaker, as a member of Scotland’s crofting community, I understand just how disastrous a Brexit trade deal with Australia, as proposed by this Tory government, would be for Scotland’s farming and crofting sectors." #PMQs

📢 @Ianblackford_MP: "If reports of this Tory deal are true, farmers will lose their livelihoods, rural businesses will collapse, and ultimately, families will be driven off the land.

And let’s be very clear. If that happens, this UK Tory government will be solely responsible."

📢 @Ianblackford_MP: "So, just for once Prime Minister, give a straight answer to these farming and crofting families who are living with this threat." #PMQs

📢 @Ianblackford_MP: "Can the Prime Minister categorically rule out that his government is prepared to sign up to a trade deal that will, at any future point, guarantee tariff-free access to Australian lamb and beef? Yes or No?" #PMQs

📢 @Ianblackford_MP: "Thank you Mr Speaker, that was quite chilling.

To try and treat something as serious as this in the way that the government and the Prime Minister has done is really quite pathetic." #PMQs

📢 @Ianblackford_MP: "The fact the Prime Minister couldn’t give a straight answer will send a real chill across Scotland’s farming communities." #PMQs

📢 @Ianblackford_MP: "This UK government led the betrayal of Scottish fishing and now the Tories planning to throw our farmers and crofters under the Brexit bus." #PMQs

📢 @Ianblackford_MP: "This morning, Martin Kennedy, President of the National Farmers Union Scotland told ITV that farmers will feel “seriously betrayed” by these proposals." #PMQs

📢 @Ianblackford_MP: "This deal would be the final nail in the coffin for many Scottish crofters and farmers - it will end a way of life that has endured for generations." #PMQs

📢 @Ianblackford_MP: "I know that many of the Prime Minister’s Tory colleagues privately agree with me - and want him to pull back from this deal.

So, will the Prime Minister finally listen, think again and ditch a deal that will send our famers down under?" #PMQs
