News about Pete Wishart

Following bizarre scenes in the chamber overnight, Speaker Lindsay Hoyle expressed regret for'his conduct as ministers openly debate whether he will live. During tumultuous discussions in the Commons, Labour leader Penny Mordaunt blamed Labour for Sir Lindsay's "damaging" - suggesting that he had been unable to resist pressure from Sir Keir to choose an amendment to a SNP motion calling for a'immediate ceasefire'. Meanwhile, Downing Street has never voiced hope in Sir Lindsay. The amendment decision, which was taken in defiance of Commons Clerks' instructions, meant that Scots nationalists did not have a chance to vote on their own Opposition Day debate. It prompted a walk out from both the SNP and Torries.

Bruce Guthro died at the age of 62. The singer hailed from Canada, but he was best known as the lead singer for Runrig, Scotland's largest band. Pete Wishart, a former bandmate, reported his death. He was just the nicest person you could ever imagine meeting and a pleasure to perform with.' A rare singer, guitarist, and song writer was released far too soon. We're going to miss him,' he said. In 1998, Guthro formed the Scottish rock band. He was with the famous band until it stopped touring in 2018.

Humza Yousaf, the SNP leader, has confirmed that his campaign for Scottish independence 'probably' won't work, even though it was his party's longest-serving member. Pete Wishart, a SNP MP since 2001, admitted that the party's attempt to turn the general election into a 'de facto' independence referendum was unlikely to be fruitful. Mr Wishart said there was a "chance" that Scotland would break away from the UK in the next five years. However, he said that the 'easy route' to Scottish independence had 'all but been closed down.' Since replacing Nicola Sturgeon as SNP leader in March, Mr Yousaf has told party members that winning an agreement with Westminster for another referendum remains the party's 'Plan A'. But, if the SNP wins the general election in Scotland, the new First Minister reiterated that if they win the general election in Dundee last month, they will have a'mandate' to'negotiate our nation.' 'Vote SNP for Scotland will make Scotland a republic,' the party's manifesto reads.'

After using a newspaper column to criticize Humza Yousaf's position, Pete Wishart was branded 'desperate' by unionists. The initiative, according to him, had been 'quietly frozen', which had been conceived by the First Minister's predecessor, Nicola Sturgeon. Every election in Scotland, where the SNP gained more than half of the vote, should be treated as a referendum for the country to leave the UK, according to his article in the independence-backing National newspaper. However, even if readopted, the scheme could backfire on the party. The SNP is losing vote share ahead of the next election, which is likely to be postponed late next year, owing to a police investigation into its finances and the change of leadership.

It took just two seconds for HENRY DEEDES. Alister Jack had been on his feet in the Commons for a mere two seconds before the Scots Nats benches erupted like a superheated tray of uncooked sausages. It was a Molotov cocktail of furore and rage. 'Shame!' They yelled. 'Rubbish… nonsense!' And to think, all poor Jack had done at this point was evidently his throat. The Scottish Secretary had appeared in the House to announce that he was taking the unprecedented action of blocking Scotland's Gender Recognition Bill.

In an incendiary blog, Pete Wishart has branded the tactic as "the worst possible way to resolve the constitutional future." However, he outlined the ambiguity that rebels now face by admitting that it was now the only alternative left open. Ms Sturgeon has tried to put a brave face on her political career after the Supreme Court ruled in October that she would not vote again without authorization from Westminster.

Stephen Flynn sluggishly dismissed news about the 'Tuesday Club' of SNP politicians who are said to have orchestrated the deposition of his predecessor Ian Blackford. He said it was 'upsetting' to be linked to a 'laddish' tradition of beer and curry, and that he could 'barely stomach korma.' "If you give me the opportunity or a piece of free time, I will pick up a book and read,' I tell a Scottish magazine. An Aperol Spritz is my favorite drink when it's roasting in the summer, and for which I'm still missing. I'm not even a beer swigger." On the other hand, pictures he has posted on his social media pages show him enjoying beers. The Dundee United fan enjoys ales before the game and celebrates his first day off from parenting his son after many months.

Nicola Sturgeon's sway over her party appeared to disintegrate yesterday after the SNP's longest-serving MP launched a scathing assault on its new Westminster leader Stephen Flynn. Pete Wishart resigned from the SNP front bench in the House of Commons after accusing Mr Flynn of a rebellion to depose former Prime Minister Ian Blackford. Stewart McDonald, one of the SNP's most popular MPs, resigned from his post after Mr Flynn promised to'shake it up,' while the SNP's chief whip was scrapped. Miss Sturgeon refused to repeat her previous claim that there had not been a coup to bring down Mr Blackford as internal tensions in the party escalated.

Pete Wishart said he would not pursue a senior position under Stephen Flynn and challenged his conduct just days after he replaced Ian Blackford as London's rebel leader. Mr Wishart, the MP for Perth and North Perthshire, was 'bemused' as to why Mr Flynn' thought it was 'important to request a change in our leadership,' even as support for a Scottish independence increased. Mr Blackford resigned last week following rumors of a coup attempt by MPs. Mr Flynn denied ever being interested in replacing him before deciding to run and changing his mind. And last week, First Minister and majority party leader Nicola Sturgeon said 'no, it's not a coup' and told STV that Mr Blackford made the decision to go on autonomously.'
