London won’t silence Scotland
WESTMINSTER will not succeed in silencing Scotland. Scotland’s devolved powers must not be eroded by a clawback by Westminster on the back of Brexit.
This was the case being made in the Commons by SNP MP Drew Hendry, who in clearly demonstrating democracy and making Scotland’s case during the Internal Market Bill debate, got rather heated and was subsequently suspended.
Westminster will never silence Scotland: it will only succeed in making Scotland more determined to have its voice heard.

SNP manifesto done and dusted
SO, an SNP MP tried to steal a symbol of royal authority, caused a ruckus in Westminster, protested against Brexit, blamed the Tories and their “Labour bedfellows” of not caring about Scotland, and was accused of holding another “boring stunt” in what can only be seen as a show of exuberant and hollow identity politics meant for a minority of the “domestic” audience in Scotland.
