The key point I was making, albeit clumsily, is that the SNP will demand Scotland’s democratic right to choose our own future is respected, regardless of who is in government at Westminster.

The SNP will call this party political stunt out for exactly what it is – a desperate attempt by Labour Party and Tory MPs to weaponise a taxpayer-funded Westminster committee to take pot shots at their political opponents.
We'll negotiate with anybody, we'll help anybody into power, but you don't need to be the last word and psephologist to know what the SNP will demand in exchange for that support.
If this inquiry goes ahead as suggested, it would be an unprecedented abuse of the House of Commons committee system – and a complete waste of taxpayers' money.
The loss of not only their jobs, but their homes too will put many of those affected by this cut into a particularly vulnerable situation through no fault of their own - it is simply unfair.
