Boris Johnson was compared to the Black Knight from Monty Python claiming his mortal injuries were just flesh wounds.
The Prime Minister was mocked by SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford during a heated exchange in the Commons at PMQs this lunchtime.
On Monday, the PM won a confidence vote by 211 votes to 148 leaving him wounded after more than 40 per cent of his MPs voted against him.
MPs from all sides took aim at Johnson as he attempted to lift himself off the canvas following a tough start to the week.
Black Knight appeared in the 1975 Monty Python and the Holy Grail film where in a fight his hands and legs were chopped off.
After having his left arm removed he said, "tis but a scratch", then went onto day "it's only a flesh wound".
During PMQs, the SNP MP for Ross, Skye and Lochaber said: "The Prime Minister is acting like Monty Python's black knight, running around declaring it's just a flesh wound.
"And no amount of delusion and denial will save the Prime Minister from the truth, this story won't go away until he goes away.
"For once in his life he needs to wake up to reality. Prime Minister it's over. It's done. The Prime Minister has no options left but Scotland does.
"Scotland has the choice of an independent future. It's not just the Prime Minister that we have zero confidence in, it's the broken Westminster system which puts a man like him in power.
"Can the Prime Minister tell us how it is democratic that Scotland is struck with a Prime Minister we don't trust, a Conservative Party we don't support, and Tory governments we haven't voted for since 1955?"
The Prime Minister replied saying an SNP-Labour coalition would take the UK back into the UK.
Labour and SNP have both said they would not enter any agreement at Westminster.
Johnson added: "We had a referendum, as I've told the House before, in 2014. I think he should respect the mandate of the people.
"He keeps saying he wants independence for his country.
"Our country is independent... and the only way that independence would ever be reversed would be if we had the disaster of a Labour-SNP coalition to take us back into the EU."
