From his bitter campaign against Charles Kennedy to his mishandling of sexual harassment allegations against an SNP MP, it's clear that Ian Blackford has never been fit to lead. He should have stepped aside a long time ago.

Ian Blackford resigns as SNP Westminster leader after 5 years in role

The MP for Ross, Skye and Lochaber informed members of the nationalist group in London about his decision earlier today.

We’ve had eight years of this utter fiasco. Yet, we’ve had six ministers in that time. Not a single one of them, including the current First Minister, has lost their job for this fiasco. Will anyone ever face the music for this disaster?

As a consultation into making temporary Covid powers closes today, @agcolehamilton has called on the SNP to hand back its unprecedented emergency powers Many powers were never meant to be forever and it would be an affront to democracy for the SNP to try to keep them for good.

The SNP and Green's Covid ID cards have been flawed from the outset. It should come as no surprise that they are proving to be an unenforceable burden rather than part of our response to Covid-19, said @agcolehamilton

This is rotten to the core. Everyone knew from the start that there would be a public inquiry, so to delete messages on an industrial scale is shameful. Nicola Sturgeon made an unambiguous commitment on national television to retain all records and hand them over to judges.

. @willie_rennie : How can the people of Scotland judge the First Minister on her number one priority of education, if the OECD report that was supposed to get to the bottom of problems isn’t published until after the election? #FMQs

If your daughter broke her arm you could reasonably expect her to be in plaster by the end of the day. But if she came to you with profound anxiety and self-harming behaviour, she would join one of the longest queues in the NHS. That isn't acceptable @agcolehamilton #sldconf

The Deputy First Minister announced today that expanding the SNP-Green's illiberal Covid ID card scheme is being considered by the Government @agcolehamilton said the Government should abandon this expansion and focus on what works: vaccinations and contact tracing

After 16 years in power, the SNP’s record is a one of complete and utter failure. None of the contenders to replace Nicola Sturgeon will clear up the mess she’s left behind. The Scottish people deserve so much better than this awful SNP Government.

A group of children suffering with long Covid came to parliament this morning hoping to meet Nicola Sturgeon and tell her what life is like with the awful condition of long Covid. Unfortunately this didn't happen but @agcolehamilton made a point to go and see them.

Susan Murray is our candidate to be East Dunbartonshire's next MP. The SNP have been awful for Scotland. Meanwhile the Conservatives are reduced to making excuses for Boris Johnson's lies. In East Dunbartonshire a vote for Susan will send a message that it is time for a change.

Lib Dems have made a huge leap forward and are back as a major force in British politics. With huge swings in Scotland we have toppled huge chunks of the acid yellow wall of the SNP. There are far more liberals than nationalists on the benches of the House of Commons today.

Today we saw the second highest number of people waiting over 4 hours at A&E and record queues for cancer care. But the SNP would rather waste time and effort on an unwanted push to further their obsession with breaking up the UK.

Scots ferries farce branded 'sordid mess' as vital CalMac vessels may never sail

There is no such thing as a ‘de facto’ referendum. We will fight the next election on the issues that matter. Supporting people through the cost of living emergency, combating the crisis in our NHS and restoring Scottish education to its full potential.

There is a risk that Nicola Sturgeon's appearance at the Public Audit Committee will only herald more filibustering and finger-pointing. If delays and costs continue to spiral, ministers must be held accountable. They have dodged any morsel of responsibility for far too long.
