IAN Blackford has said Theresa May must not allow the UK to be held hostage by far-right Tories and the DUP.
Speaking in the House of Commons, the SNP Westminster leader stated that the SNP will be voting for revoking Article 50 or a People's Vote because "there is no such thing as a good Brexit”.
May has since told Tory MPs that she would quit if they back her Brexit deal.

Leading Brexiteers, including Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg, have subsequently indicated that they would consider supporting her withdrawal agreement if it was brought back to the Commons.
Speaker John Bercow, however, has warned that he will not accept a third meaningful vote being brought forward this week without substantial changes.
During Prime Ministers Questions, Blackford said: "It is increasingly clear that the cost this Prime Minister will pay, to force her disastrous deal through, is the price of her departure.
"Yet again, another Tory Prime Minister is willing to ride off into the sunset and saddle us with a crisis in the UK – and an extreme-right Brexiteer in Downing Street.
"Does the Prime Minister feel no sense of responsibility for what she is about to do?
"The Prime Minister can still change course. It’s not too late.”

Referencing an anti-Brexit protest in London which attracted up to a million people and a petition signed by almost 6 million people calling for Article 50 to be revoked, the Ross, Skye and Lochaber MP urged the Prime Minister to reconsider her strategy.
"On Saturday, I joined opposition leaders, and a million people to demand a second EU referendum.
"Six million people have signed a petition online demanding the Prime Minister rethink her strategy.
"And today this House will give her a way out, a chance to prevent disaster.
"Will the Prime Minister finally respect the will of Parliament – or will she continue to allow Scotland and the rest of the UK to be held hostage by the extreme right of the Tory Party and the DUP?"

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!
