#IANBLACKFORD
Ian Blackford was elected new SNP group leader at Westminster yesterday, replacing Angus Robertson. @uartlach posted: “Congratulations to Ian Blackford MP on his election as Leader of Westminster SNP Group and to Kirsty Blackman MP elected as Deputy Leader.” @Polhomeeditor asked: “Will it annoy Alex Salmond that Ian Blackford – who threatened to sue him when he was SNP treasurer – is to be Westminster leader?” @smiffy_73 noted: “Ian Blackford is favourite for the SNP WM leader role, he used to be an investment banker, I look forward to him preaching socialism.” @Kennyfarq observed: “Ian Blackford will be a formidable SNP Westminster leader. A former banker with a radical edge. Forensic on detail. A good ear for a phrase.”
