Sturgeon making SNP 'a fifth column for the EU,' charges party's former deputy leader
Jim Sillars says it's absurd to demand powers from Westminster merely to propose handing them to Brussels
NICOLA STURGEON would hand powers she is demanding from Westminster “back to Mr Juncker,” former SNP deputy leader Jim Sillars said yesterday.
Mr Sillars, a leftwinger and eurosceptic, accused his party of “acting like a fifth column for the EU.”
He said SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford’s outrage at the silencing of Scottish MPs that led to a walkout from Prime Minister’s Questions last week was “real and justified.”
