.@StephenFlynnSNP: "What worries the Prime Minister most about Brexit right now?

Is it the likely 4% hit to UK productivity or the 3 former Tory leaders planning to vote down his deal this afternoon?" #PMQs
.@StephenFlynnSNP: "The reality is, that whilst Westminster is once again consumed by the damage being caused by Brexit.

The public are facing the biggest fall in living standards, ever. The highest tax burden since the end of the Second World War and inflation at 10.4%." #PMQs
.@StephenFlynnSNP: "When are the Conservative Party, and indeed the Labour Party, going to realise that Brexit can't work?" #PMQs
.@HannahB4LiviMP: "When my wee brother was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, it turned our worlds upside down. I'm incredibly proud of the man he is and all that he's achieved whilst living with this life-limiting condition." #PMQs
.@HannahB4LiviMP: "Steven Sharp manages the local team of Fulshie. He has Crohn’s disease & lives with a stoma.

He, like many people living with this condition, is trying to support their families whilst holding down jobs with a disease that wreaks havoc on their bodies." #PMQs
.@HannahB4LiviMP: "Given 1 in 4 people wait over a year for diagnosis - will the Prime Minister support the awareness campaign, “Cut the Crap: Get Checked", and meet with Steven and I to discuss what more can be done on awareness, treatment and research." #PMQs
.@alisonthewliss: "My constituent came to the UK from Afghanistan on a spousal visa back in 2016. The Home Office have just refused her renewal and advised she should return to Afghanistan." #PMQs
.@alisonthewliss: "She is an educator, due to start a university course. She is a valued community activist, she is a vocal opponent of the Taliban, she is married to a man who worked for British forces and her family is currently being persecuted in Afghanistan." #PMQs
.@alisonthewliss: "Can the Prime Minister think of any barrier or hardships she might face in returning to a country where there is not even any means of applying for a visa?" #PMQs
.@AlanBrownSNP: "While Westminster receives an additional £65bn in revenues from Scotland's oil and gas, they've only allocated £20bn of it for carbon capture but nothing for Scotland." #PMQs
.@AlanBrownSNP: "They've cut the renewable energy budget by a third, only allocated £10m for Scotland's world-leading tidal stream and failed to back pumped-storage hydro.

Yet they expect us to pay our share of the £35bn Sizewell C nuclear station." #PMQs
.@AlanBrownSNP: "Isn’t it the case that within the union, Scotland has the energy but Westminster has the power." #PMQs

📺 Watch First Minister @NicolaSturgeon at #FMQs.

⏰ Tune in now on scottishparliament.tv Nicola Sturgeon
@NicolaSturgeon 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "Notwithstanding the challenges that our NHS is facing, A&E units in Scotland are the best performing anywhere in the UK.

And delayed discharges, while far too high, are lower than in England and Wales." #FMQs Image
@NicolaSturgeon 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "In Scotland, there are more GPs per 100,000 population than in the rest of the UK.

If Douglas Ross is saying that our NHS challenges are all because of the SNP, he has to recognise our relative performance compared to other parts of the UK." #FMQs Image

.@Ianblackford_MP: "We've had austerity for 10 years after the financial crisis. If we should have learned any lesson - it's that you can't cut your way to growth.

If you take cash out of the pockets of the poorest, then hey presto, they don't have. the money to spend." #bbcqt Image
.@Ianblackford_MP: "If you look at the harsh reality of what has happened, there's a £30bn cut to public spending.

The OBR book - and I'm delighted we have it because we didn't during the mini-budget - tells us that £19.4bn is going to come out of public sector spending." #bbcqt
.@Ianblackford_MP: "That is a huge hit. But what you also see in the document is that real living standards are going to fall by as much as 7% over the course of the next two years.

I have to say to each and every one of you, it needn't be this way." #bbcqt
