Penny Mordaunt doesn't backdown blasting 'self-obssessed, self-pitying' SNP

The SNP will soon have fewer supporters than there are pandas in Edinburgh Zoo, Penny Mordaunt has said.

SNP shadow Commons leader Deidre Brock told the Commons: “Her comments last week about Scotland’s drug policies were literally frontpage news. The Daily Record describing them as an odd rant, one of the more positive responses. One correspondent asked: ‘why does Penny hate Scotland so much, was she scared by the bagpipes as a child?’ We certainly look forward to the Leader’s reply to that.

“Her answer illustrated very comprehensively I am afraid the attitudes and contempt on that side of the House for the people of Scotland.”

The Edinburgh North and Leith MP called for a debate on child poverty in England, and asked if the Commons Leader wanted a copy of research which suggested Holyrood’s child payment scheme would alleviate the problem north of the border.

Ms Mordaunt replied: “Given that the autumn statement has given the Scottish Government an additional £545 million, and we are about to hear their budget, I think it is a pretty safe bet that it will not be spent wisely.

“By all means she can send me what she likes, but I have to say there is a trend here and I think that Scottish SNP supporters will soon be outnumbered by the number of pandas in her local zoo.”
