There had been speculation that some SNP MPs were plotting to replace Mr Blackford as group leader.

Good riddance.

 

[BiggEggo]

I'm sure they will replace him with someone equally capable of parading that in The House.

Any reasonable minded sloth is more than capable of going toe to to with the big lugged billionaire.

 

[asredastheycome]

I quite like him to be honest.

 

[indeedido]

I don't support his party, but he has been a very good Westminster leader. I will miss his eloquence, dry humour and courage to ask the difficult questions.

 

[ThatFragranceGuy]

Think he's always been brilliant in HoC especially at PMQ's. Often willing to go that extra mile eg refusing to withdraw statements

 

[Archiestephens_elbow]

Didn't like his dig at keir on Wednesday

 

[TeaCider]

Good.

A bad sign for Sturgeon given she backed him to the hilt and he had no intention of resigning very recently.

I think that may have been election battle lines being drawn up.

Both Sunak and Starmer will be relieved - Sunak because Blackford kicks his ****, Starmer because Blackford shows him how PMQs should be done.

Great. He WAS the opposition. Now we're left with Starmer the plank.

We've still got Ed Davey remember.

I like blackford but your point about starmer is nonsense Jack. Starmer was instrumental in the fall of Johnson, blackford wasn't. This was done through the vehicle of PMQ's

Starmer is an abysmal public speaker and he knows it.

Jeez can the criticisms get any more petty than this?

He's not on the after-dinner circuit you know.

A vastly successful barrister is an abysmal public speaker?

Depends what you want to hear

Your view not shared by people who know a bit about these things.

Jack that really is a bad argument, not least because it isnt true.

 

[Nobby_Barnes]

Starmer is certainly a mixed bag....
