📢 @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

📺 Watch @NicolaSturgeon live on #Marr.

⏰ Tune in now on BBC One Scotland: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/live/b… Image
📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "It would be absurd and completely outrageous if an independence referendum ever ended up in court.

For this to happen, it would mean that a Conservative government had refused to respect the democratic will of the Scottish people." #Marr
📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "Michael Gove opposes independence, he's entirely entitled to that view.

I support independence, I'm entitled to that view.

But ultimately, it's not up to me or him to decide, it's up to the Scottish people to decide that question." #Marr

📢 @NicolaSturgeon: “When the SNP first entered government back in 2007, we secured just one more seat than the Labour Party.

📢 @NicolaSturgeon: “And absolutely no-one then would have predicted the sheer scale and record-breaking nature of our victory at this election.

We have won 62 constituency seats - a record number and an incredible 85% of the total.” #SNPWin
