📣 @Ianblackford_MP: "In Scotland, actually 100% of care workers have had the vaccine.

One of the key factors for the past 15 months has been our First Minister giving press conferences and facing the public, seeking to take people with us." #bbcqt

📣 @Ianblackford_MP: "We've had 128,000 in the UK, there's the phrase that the Prime Minister has allegedly made - 'let the bodies pile high'.

If Mark [Harper] and his Tory colleagues got their way, the death rate in this country would increase." #bbcqt

📣 @Ianblackford_MP: "We all want theatres and all sectors of the economy to open as quickly as possible, but the Tories' failure to close the borders and stop the Delta variant taking root was an abdication of responsibility." #bbcqt

🤝 We're doing all we can to provide vital business support through the pandemic.

🔎 In Scotland, we were the only part of the UK to extend 100% rates relief to businesses in hospitality, retail, aviation and leisure for the rest of this financial year. #bbcqt

📣 @Ianblackford_MP: "The Australia trade deal has created a set of circumstances where our farmers will be in peril, and we're talking about an impact on our GDP of 0.02%.

We would need 200 Australia trade deals to mitigate the impact of Brexit. It's madness on stilts." #bbcqt

@Ianblackford_MP 📣 @Ianblackford_MP: "Scotland's farming industry will be imperilled by the gross stupidity and the woeful neglect that the Tory government is showing." #bbcqt
