The Prime Minister must "admit that Brexit is a significant long-term cause of the UK economic crisis", according to the SNP's Westminster leader. The decision of the UK to leave the EU was described by Ian Blackford as the "elephant in the room that neither the Tories or Labour are willing to confront".
Speaking at Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Blackford said: "It is such a sad sight to watch this Prime Minister ram through a Bill that would rip up 4,000 pieces of European law, laws that protect workers' rights, food standards and environmental protections. It's an even worse sight watching the leader of the Labour Party desperately trying to out-Brexit the Prime Minister."
He added: "Brexit is now the elephant in the room that neither the Tories or Labour are willing to confront. When will the Prime Minister finally see reality and admit that Brexit is a significant long-term cause of the UK economic crisis?"
