JUST a few days ago, Scottish Brexit Secretary Michael Russell said that Scotland was not being listened to after he emerged from a recent Joint Ministerial Committee meeting.
Today, in the open of the House of Commons, we got to see MPs literally not listening as the SNP's Peter Grant delivered his speech as part of the Brexit debate held in Parliament.
Theresa May was making a statement to the Commons just two days before she travels to Brussels for a summit at which it had initially been hoped to finalise the UK's withdrawal agreement.

And we're not talking about the usual heckling from the benches, that happened while May and the leader of the opposition were talking. This was different.
As Grant spoke, more and more muttering from MPs talking amongst themselves continued to build for a full TWO MINUTES until Speaker of the House John Bercow finally intervened to ask them to be quiet.
As soon as Grant continued, however, the talking started again, drowning out the SNP voice.
Note how the MPs stop when May rises to respond to the points raised by Grant.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
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. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
