@Ianblackford_MP

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

@Ianblackford_MP

📢 @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

📢 @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."

@NicolaSturgeon

📣 @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

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