.@Ianblackford_MP: "The Tory sleaze scandal has been hitting the headlines for the best part of 14 days.

And yet it’s pretty obvious that the Prime Minister spent less than 10 minutes coming up with yesterday’s half-hearted, half-baked and already half-botched proposals." #PMQs Image
.@Ianblackford_MP: "These so-called reforms don’t even scratch the surface - this sleaze scandal runs far, far deeper. Month after month, the public have witnessed scandal after scandal." #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP: "Peerages handed to millionaire donors, VIP lanes gifting Covid contracts to Tory pals, Dodgy donations for luxury holidays and home renovations.

The Prime Minister and his government have been up to their necks in this sleaze." #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP: "The PM has basically admitted that not one of this government’s sleaze scandals would have been stopped by his so-called plan.

Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised, considering the Prime Minister has been at the rotten core of all these scandals." #PMQs Image
.@Ianblackford_MP: "The trail of sleaze all leads back to the funding of the Tory party.

Since 2010, the Tory party has made 9 of its former treasurers members of the House of Lords. Every single one of them has something in common, they handed over £3m to the PM’s party." #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP: "That is the very definition of corruption. It is the public’s definition of corruption.

Will this Gov't finally accept this is corruption, or is the PM the only person in the country who has the brass neck to argue that was all one big co-incidence?" #PMQs

📢 @StephenFlynnSNP: “I look at this in a slightly different way because if HS2 is going to Leeds, then the reality is there is no chance it’s coming to Scotland.

And I have to say I would be surprised if anyone was actually surprised at this announcement.” #bbcqt
📢 SF: “What we’ve seen over the last 6 months or so is a litany of broken promises:

❌ The pensions triple lock,

❌ International development aid commitments,

❌ The promise not to raise taxes,

❌ To build carbon capture and underground storage in the North East.” #bbcqt
📢 SF: “If we are looking at the reality of Boris Johnson’s premiership today, if we look at his history, it is broken promise after broken promise.” #bbcqt

First Minister @NicolaSturgeon at #FMQs: "We will continue to ensure that our justice system does protect people from criminals, that it does ensure that vicitims get the justice they deserve. But also the principles of rehabilitation is at its heart."
FM: "On the issue of automatic early release, my government didn't introduce those measures but we did legislate to bring an end to them. It is important that we have a justice system that punishes those that have to be punished, but also promotes rehabilitation." #FMQs
FM: "Rates of crime, and I appreciate for any victim of crime this is no comfort at all, but rates of crime are at their lowest level in many years in Scotland." #FMQs
