The SNP depute leader took a swipe at the 'Tories at their small conference in Glasgow'
of a “litany of attacks” on devolution and challenged the party to outline support for the “democratic rights” of the Scottish Parliament.
SNP depute leader Keith Brown said it was no wonder Rishi Sunak was “running scared of the media” as “when it comes to Scotland, the Tory Party simply have nothing positive to say”. Brown said this was a sign of the “mask slipping” and said other examples of Tory attacks on democracy included a refusal to grant a section 30 order for a referendum, the blocking ofgender reform legislation and a “power-grab” via the Internal Market Bill and Levelling Up Fund.
