.@StephenFlynnSNP: "Can I ask the Prime Minister to outline the safe and legal route available to a child refugee seeking to flee Sudan and come to the United Kingdom?" #PMQs
.@StephenFlynnSNP: "To be clear, Mr Speaker, children in Sudan are already dying.
Now whether it's a Tory slogan to "Stop the Boats" or a Labour slogan to 'Stop Small Boats' - we need some more humanity in this debate. Rather than a race to the bottom." #PMQs
.@StephenFlynnSNP: "So can I ask the Prime Minister, now that he has confirmed that there is no safe and legal route.
Will he therefore confirm that it would be his government's intention to detain and deport a child refugee who flees Sudan and comes to the UK?" #PMQs
🛑 The UK government's toxic anti-refugee and anti-immigration politics are not in our name.
🏴 Scotland is proud to be a welcoming country - and there's no place for the Tory hostile environment here. #PMQs
.@AngelaCrawley30: "Everyday I meet with constituents struggling to make ends meet, food banks struggling with the demand, and businesses and households struggling with energy bills." #PMQs
.@AngelaCrawley30: "As the cost of living crisis continues, the BoE is expected to raise interest rates, which will only hurt the poorest.
After 13 years of Tory Govt, does the PM agree with the BoE’s Chief Economist that we should all 'just accept being poorer?'" #PMQs
.@PeterGrantMP: "After an investigation ordered by the Prime Minister himself a senior Tory MP was found guilty of “bullying” and of behaviour that was “persistently aggressive” and “intimidating”. The MP in question is now blaming his victims." #PMQs
.@PeterGrantMP: "A string of Tory MPs have lined up to say this kind of conduct is not just acceptable but good management practice.
What does it say about the Prime Minister’s values that he has done nothing to distance himself from these statements?" #PMQs

📣 First Minister @HumzaYousaf at #FMQs: "You can judge a man by the company he keeps, and Douglas Ross's company is Boris Johnson, the Conservative Party of Liz Truss, Suella Braverman, Priti Patel, formerly Lee Anderson, Mark Menzies, Peter Bone, Chris Pincher..."
HY: "Andrew Bridgen, Frank Hester...and I can see Douglas Ross looking more and more embarrassed. That's the company he keeps. I'm very proud of John Swinney, Kate Forbes, and all the company I keep." #FMQs
HY: "Our anti-poverty measures, they are estimated to lift 100,000 children out of poverty this year - in very stark contrast to the Conservatives." #FMQs
First Minister @HumzaYousaf at #FMQs: "Douglas Ross says we all have a zero tolerance approach to hate crime. I'm not entirely convinced, when you take money from a racist misogynist and then refuse to give it back, that is a zero tolerance approach whatsoever."
HY: "Those stirring-up offences for racial hatred have existed since 1986. We are simply extending those offences to other marginalised groups." #FMQs
HY: "I think it's important for Douglas Ross to be honest, to tell people, who is it he thinks is not deserving of those protections, in the same way I've been protected because of my race since 1986?" #FMQs
.@MhairiBlack: "For two reasons I think we should scrap the Rwanda policy all together.
First of all, from a moral compass. I think it is a barbaric system, there is no such thing as an illegal human being - especially not those who are fleeing war and persecution." #bbcqt
.@MhairiBlack: "Even if you just look at it from a financial argument. The UK Gov'ts own figures show that the taxpayer will pay £169,000 per migrant - that's to send one person to Rwanda.
It's going to cost £1.8bn to deport all 11,000 people that have arrived this year." #bbcqt
@MhairiBlack .@MhairiBlack: "If the Tories are serious about spending money in good places, it would have been a good idea over the last decade not to keep implementing austerity, not to hand out COVID contracts out to their pals for PPE that wasn't fit." #bbcqt
.@MhairiBlack: "The DPM said it was his duty to furnish people with 'the facts that are available' in regards to Brexit.
Brexit Britain faces higher food prices, a lack of workers, a shrinking economy & a decline in living standards. Why is he happy to ignore those facts?" #PMQs
.@MhairiBlack: "The only thing more deluded than that defence of Brexit, is Labour's support for it.
Just today, the world's fourth largest car manufacturer said Brexit was 'a threat to our export business and the sustainability of our of UK manufacturing options'." #PMQs
.@MhairiBlack: "Even Nigel Farage can admit Brexit has failed, so Mr Speaker, why can't the Deputy Prime Minister?" #PMQs
