TORY MPs jeered “once in a generation” as Stephen Flynn raised the issue of Scottish independence at PMQs ...

The SNP group leader said: “This week, a former prime minister who oversaw a financial crash before being unceremoniously turfed from office told the public the truth.

“So maybe the Prime Minister can find some time this afternoon to perhaps agree with just one of his predecessors?” “And indeed, those remarks were echoed just yesterday by the general secretary of the Scottish Trades Union Congress who stated that it remains an unresolved issue, Mr Speaker, before going on to state …”Flynn said: “They may laugh at her but she said, ‘that can be a very dangerous place to end up in when you are not allowing people to express their wishes in a democratic manner’.

“But what I would suggest to the SNP is that rather than obsessing about independence and indeed wasting time cracking down on free speech and trying to lock up JK Rowling, they should focus on what the people of Scotland actually care about: schools, hospitals, jobs and our new tax cuts.”We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
