THE SNP’s new Westminster leader has pledged to make Scotland’s voice heard in London, but said radical actions such as “walking out the chamber on a weekly basis” will not achieve the aims of the party.
Stephen Flynn said past actions such as the mass walkout of SNP MPs in 2018 to protest over Brexit were justified, but he did not believe people in Scotland would welcome seeing “stunts” at Westminster every week.
After some turbulent weeks for the group at Westminster with reports of leadership coups and frontbench resignations, he insisted the SNP group is “close-knit and focused”.
