MHAIRI Black has used her speech in the House of Commons to highlight the absurdity of the behaviour of the UK Government regarding Brexit.
The SNP MP started off by talking about the Government’s lack of care for the integrity of Parliament before listing the ways in which Scotland has been ignored during the process.
“Scotland as a whole voted to remain. That was ignored. The Scottish Government then produced a sensible plan with a reasonable compromise. That was ignored.

She added: “There’s not a hint of regret or even an awareness of the damage they are doing.
“For the Government to set a date for for this meaningful vote and say they won’t pull the vote, to then pull the vote and use the archaic processes of this place to prevent a vote on whether to have the original vote pulled, shows how much of a fankle this government has gotten itself in.
“And to top it all off, the day finished with a woman with a sword chasing a man with a big stick!
“I mean, is it any wonder that the rest of the world are looking at this and laughing.”

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!
