Today’s announcement means that Westminster chaos is set to continue this summer in Clacton.

In his limited time left in Number 10 will he get a grip of his paper thin plan?

it would “create a dangerous precedent for investigating rival political parties that a Nigel Farage government will ruthlessly exploit”.

I am gravely concerned that time and time again this Prime Minister in response to the abject and honest criticism of his defence investment plan, he cites recent trends in defence spending, when he should be calibrating it against the…

Keir Starmer is putting Scotland's safety at risk by failing to deliver the vital defence investment that is needed in the face of growing international threats.

If Keir Starmer isn't capable of delivering the investment needed to keep us safe, then it makes it all the more important that he steps aside as Prime Minister without further delay.

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.

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.

Wiser heads in the House of Commons must surely see this for what it is.

The election in May shows that the public want their politicians to focus on the issues that really matter to voters like the cost of living and the NHS – not party political stunts.

It’s now clear that Starmer is on his way out. He must decide whether he wants to break yet another promise as he heads through the exit door.

There is no excuse for Starmer’s failure to act – it is yet another broken promise, which has left Scottish families paying the price for Starmer’s mistake.

Keir Starmer must stop the delays and act immediately to remove Peter Mandelson’s peerage and taxpayer-funded £75,000 golden goodbye pay-off.
