#StephenFlynn, #SNP Westminster leader, the bastard who stabbed #IanBlackford in the back for the job, is now proposing a pause on the conference to make the next GE a de facto referendum on #independence

This is not good. We should be keeping up the pressure on the #Unionist parties, not rolling over and kicking the decision into the long grass. I thought at the time, when Blackford was defenestrated, that something else was going on.

It's all getting a bit Macbeth.

As an #SNP member, I'm appalled by the actions of #StephenFlynn in stabbing #IanBlackford in the back and sacking #PeteWishart. Flynn is creating disunity for the sake of his own political ambitions, at a time when support for #Independence is at its highest. This is beyond stupid. The SNP leadership and their Westminster MPs have to work hand in glove, not give ammunition to #Unionists.

@gxd54 I don't trust #StephenFlynn. He comes across as a smooth career politician who'd stab anyone in the back to get where he wants (starting with #IanBlackford). I'd prefer #MhairiBlack. She's passionate, committed, honest and goes straight to the point. Definitely not part of the Westminster club and that's a good thing.

I think this is a bad decision. #IanBlackford is a superb #SNP Westminster leader, a committed fighter for #ScottishIndependence and one of the most effective speakers at Westminster. To push him out because of the personal ambition of other MPs is giving aid and comfort to the #Unionist parties. As you can tell from the predictable response.

Hunt laughs, Braverman does a Patel smirk. Others smile wryly and jeer as SNP Ian Blackford talks.
This Conservative government is full of unconscionable, loathsom and flagitious degenerates. Shame on them.

Ian Blackford stands 10 feet above them all in that place. 👏

It says it all when #IanBlackford is putting his opinions and questions to the House, yet PM has left the building. Scottish Sec. #AlisterJack is left to pick up the pieces. #PMQs
