THE SNP leader at Westminster has accused Theresa May of "rewriting history".
During a heated Commons debate, Ian Blackford said: “Sometimes I think the PM must live in a parallel universe.
“We’ve just heard from the Prime Minister that she wanted this concluded in December. Mr Speaker, talk about rewriting history, it was the Prime Minister that denied us the right to have a meaningful vote.

“And to try and rewrite history, and she sits there laughing. You know sometimes you should be honest with yourself, never mind being honest with the people of the United Kingdom.”
He went on to ask if May had carried out an economic assessment of the impact her deal would have on the UK economy – asking for a simple yes or no.

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!
