Ian Blackford leaves Commons stunned as he's forced to back England for first time
2021-07-07 00:00:00.0     每日快报-政治     原网页

       SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford managed to stoke up cheers of shock during Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday. Mr Blackford stood up to address the House and wished the England football team "all the best" in their upcoming Euro semi-final match later this evening. As Mr Blackford smiled the Commons erupted in cheers as the SNP known for his spats with Prime Minister Boris Johnson showed goodwill to England's efforts.

       England is set to face Denmark at Wembley Stadium at 8 pm tonight with the winner to face Italy in the Euro final.

       This match marks the the first time England have reached a second final twice in consecutive tournaments for the first time in 1968.

       Predictions remain high for England who are yet to concede a goal in the tournament.

       The high expectations were only raised higher after a confident victory over Ukraine with a 4-0 victory.

       Despite the welcomed support from Mr Blackford, he and Mr Johnson quickly broke into an expected row during PMQs.

       Mr Blackford called on the Government to drop its plans to introduce voter-ID for elections.

       Mr Blackford claimed this would cause Mr Johnson to become a tinpot dictator.

       He argued it would shut out millions of Britons from being able to vote and would allow the Government to make voting more difficult.

       He told the house: “Goodness gracious Prime Minister, come on, there were 34 allegations of impersonation in 2019.

       "Rather than let the voters choose the Government.

       "Mr Speaker, three and a half million people in the UK do not have a form of photo ID.

       "Eleven million people do not have a passport or a driving licence, these millions of people will be directly impacted by seeing their rights to vote curtailed.

       "It is not just the opposition saying this, members of the Prime Minister's own party have called his plans an illogical and illiberal solution to a non-existent problem."

       "Will the Prime Minister withdraw these vote-rigging proposals immediately or will they continue down the path of being a tinpot dictator?"

       The Prime Minister firmly replied Mr Blackford was making a "mountain out of a molehill" on the issue.
