.@Ianblackford_MP: "We are standing on the cliff edge of yet another challenging moment in this pandemic.

Omicron cases are rising at a rapid rate and over the coming weeks, tough decisions will again have to be made to save lives and protect our NHS." #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP: "Downing Street wilfully broke the rules and mocked the sacrifices we have all made, shattering the public’s trust.

The Prime Minister is responsible for losing that trust. He can no longer lead on the most pressing issue facing the country. ." #PMQs Image
.@Ianblackford_MP: "The Prime Minister has a duty – the only right and moral choice left to you, is for your resignation.

When can we expect it? " #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP: "People followed the rules when it meant missing family, missing births, missing the chance to be beside a loved one in their dying moments.

People have sacrificed, at times to the point of breaking, while this UK Gov't laughed in our faces." #PMQs Image
.@Ianblackford_MP: "It’s clear this Prime Minister has lost the support of the public and now – his own benches.

This is not a grin and bear it moment. This is a moment of moral reckoning." #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP: "Every member of the Conservative benches must now decide – is this the man to lead the country when lives are at stake?" #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP: "It’s clear that this Prime Minister intends to desperately cling onto power, and I have nothing left to say to a man who’s answers we simply cannot trust.

Mr Speaker, it is time for members of this house to act." #PMQs

First Minister @NicolaSturgeon: "Thanks for joining us. As you can see I’m joined by the Chief Medical Officer and the National Clinical Director."
NS: "Throughout the pandemic - particularly at key stages - I’ve tried to be open and upfront with you about the challenges and uncertainties confronting us, so that you can better understand - if not always agree with - the difficult judgments and decisions we have had to make."
NS: "This is another moment when such frankness is really important.

So the purpose of today’s update is to level with you on what we know about spread in Scotland of the new Omicrom variant - and also our estimate of what we are likely to face in the days and weeks to come."

First Minister @NicolaSturgeon at #FMQs: "I believe supporting a Just Transition away from fossil fuels to renewable and low-carbon energy is a policy all of us should support."
NS: "What is absolutely essential is that we support those who currently work in the oil and gas sector, and that we don't substitute domestic production with imported production." #FMQs
NS: "For the sake of the planet, for the sake of future generations, we must accelerate that transition. That is what this government is investing to do, and the Finance Secretary will set out our next investments in the transition to Net Zero in the Budget this afternoon." #FMQs

First Minister @NicolaSturgeon: "Presiding Officer,
I will give an update on the general Covid situation."
NS: "I will also share the most up to date information we have on the Omicron variant - both its transmission in Scotland and the world’s developing understanding of it - and set out the steps we must take to slow its spread, and to stem transmission of the virus more generally."
NS: "Firstly, though, today’s statistics.

3,060 positive cases were reported yesterday – 9.2% of all tests carried out.

576 people are in hospital with Covid – 15 fewer than yesterday.

And 38 people are in intensive care, which is 5 fewer than yesterday."

📢 @Ianblackford_MP: “Madame Deputy Speaker, the SNP is bringing forward this motion of censure against this Prime Minister because we believe in a very basic principle – and we believe the public does too.”
📢 @Ianblackford_MP: “Those in power deserve to face consequences for their disastrous actions – and they need to be held to account.

And the charge sheet against the Prime Minister is damning.”
📢 IB: “In the last few weeks alone Boris Johnson:
 
❌ ripped up anti-lobbying rules when one of his own was found guilty

❌ He is attempting to restrict the right to judicial review

❌ And he is seeking to undermine the independence of the Electoral Commission.”

🤝 We're determined to build a Scotland free from child poverty.

💷 That's why from April 2022, we are doubling the Scottish Child Payment - the only benefit of its kind in the UK - to £20 a week.

👇🏼 Here's how charities, campaigners, academics and experts have reacted. #SNP21
📣 Child Poverty Action Group, @CPAGScotland:

"This is a real lifeline for the families across Scotland who are facing a perfect storm of financial insecurity as the UK cut to Universal Credit bites..."

@CPAGScotland 📣 @PovertyAlliance: "The decision to double the Scottish Child Payment from April is one that will loosen the grip of poverty on the lives of thousands of children in Scotland."
