Ian Blackford: the Prime Minister is desperately clinging on to his own fantasy

The SNP’s Westminster leader said the resignation of two Cabinet ministers represented the “end for Boris Johnson”. Ian Blackford said: “This is the end for Boris Johnson. Tory MPs should have got rid of him months ago – and it speaks volumes they are only acting now out of self-interest and fear they will lose their seats at the next election.” The MP for Ross, Skye and Lochaber, added: “Westminster is in constant crisis. Whoever replaces Boris Johnson, Scotland will still be stuck with a Tory government we didn’t vote for imposing Brexit, austerity cuts and damaging policies we don’t support. “The only way to protect Scotland’s interests is to become an independent country and escape Westminster control for good.” Subscribe to the Evening Standard on YouTube:    / @thelondonstandard
