Threatens ‘disruption’

0 Ian Blackford hit out at the Tory government

that leaving the European Union will bring to Scotland.

And Mr Blackford made clear SNP MPS at Westminster would not vote for any Brexit deal that removes the UK from the single market and the customs union.

Addressing the SNP annual conference in Glasgow, Mr Blackford recalled that the Scottish Parliament had refused to grant its consent to the UK Government’s key Brexit legislation.

Sending out a message to Mrs May and her ministers, he said: “Let those in Westminster hear this - if contempt continues to be shown to the people of Scotland and our Parliament - SNP MPS will not hesitate in causing maximum disruption to this Tory Government’s agenda when and where Scotland needs us to.”

Mr Blackford, who led a walkout of SNP MPS during Prime Ministser’s Questions, said the “Tories think they can do whatever they want to Scotland and get away with it”.
