Fergus Ewing visibly fuming at his OWN SNP minister's answer

[@swalker8558]

Well done to Fergus for calling out his own party

[@joanrodger352]

Hyslop totally clueless.She would not be employed anywhere else.A waste of time and money.

[@johnreed8336]

Waste of Scots tax payers money .

[@daffytree2605]

The only member of the snp with any sence of credibility, his mother was the best PM the UK never had.

[@trevorhart545]

The "BEST P M that the UK never had" was John Smith, a Scots man and Labour Party leader, who died of a Heart Attack in 1988 at his Barbican apartment. The second tragedy was that it opened the path for Tony Blair & Gordon Brown to take over.

[@daffytree2605]

@trevorhart545 true a good man, but so was Winnie Ewing.

Why are we paying ministers just to read prepared statements is she not able to speak to Fergus Ewing and maybe try answering his question properly in a human way

[@blackislepeastoo]

Fergus has had enough - word salad plus delay plus inability to tell the TRUTH.

[@Truthteller886]

Fergus, the only SNP that tells the truth

[@williamweb9782]

Does he? The man who voted for the hate laws and then objected to it when he saw how it was being weaponised.

[@RonBryson-i2k]

She has no idea and looks like these roads will not go ahead until this bunch of fools are voted out.

[@barbaraurquhart2276]

Along with labour and hope the tories don't get on either

[@vtechead1]

Surely he didn’t expect an honest reply from his own party ! He should know them by now, and reading every word of the reply.

[@jamesbunyan9781]

Fergus just got a word salad in reply. Pathetic.

[@johnrogers5207]

Typical. If someone other than an SNP member asks a question the answer is always an insult.

[@peoplewatcher.365]

What a disgrace the SNP are.We all have seen the treacherous carry on.

[@amartin3893]

"Now, that is the orderly way to deliver a time table". 13 years after the pledge to duel the road THAT is said by Hyslop to cover up the truth. The govt have no intention of duelling the road. It conflicts with their green garbage, and they will stall and delay progress for their entire duration of parliament.

[@roystone9932]

Another minister for waffle making excuses for spending 89 million pounds with nothing to show for it ......typical SNP . I really felt for Fergus Ewing his frustration is obvious .

[@ABTrainsYT]

Can we all give Mr Ewing a round of applause and a hat tip for his bravery to stand up and hold his own government to account. They say it hurts to tell the truth, and it does…especially as far as the SNP is concerned. Well done sir 🎩🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👏

[@2271graham]

Would you still give Fergus a round of applause if he quite rightly told you where you could RAM your Butchers APRON???.

[@stevestewart63]

What an embarrassment to us Scots and her family, she has no answers as usual with the SNP.

[@barbaraurquhart2276]

The same as keir starmer and Rachel reeves and the tories they are an embarrassment to the whole country and made this country a laughing stock I will be glad when Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 has independence and rules itself

[@barbaraurquhart2276]

Song with keir starmer and Rachel reeves and the whole labour party and the tories the are an embarrassment to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and the whole country te Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ruled itself so we can get our own votes and democracy and our own rule and leave this answer on as it is the second time I have put I it on

I meant to say along

89 million spent on duelling the A9 but not one cm of tar had been laid !!!!!!… SNP are experts at wasting our money

She’s said lots and said absolutely nothing. 89m spent on what exactly?

Holyrood should start taking registration every day to mark their absence. Empty seats again

[@tremoloharmonicadavewoodco1495]

It's not in the central belt so why bother.

[@Mac-y9b]

Mark Ruskell should move to Inverness and travel up and down the A9 to Holyrood then maybe he would not be spouting a load of rubbish and would be glad to see it dualled.

[@apollomemories7399]

Imagine a government that cannot organise the building of a roadway. And why do we have completely technically unqualified people representing such schemes and talking about it at parliamentary questions. Where are the exprerts?

[@cremvirus]

Imagine a devolved assembly that thinks it's a government

[@TerryUrquhart-v4w]

Hyssop hasn’t got a clue …. The people of the North want a dualed A96&A9 ….both these Highland arteries should have been priorities for the Oil money from The North Sea instead of blowing it on moratoriums and Consultancy fees and obviously keeping many of these MSPs in the current environment

[@BarneyBattles-h4l]

Shocking response. Well seen the constituency vote for the person and not for the party well done Fergus. !

[@Culbokie_croft]

Surely Fergus must now resign from the SNP with immediate effect.

[@barbaraurquhart2276]

Fergus ewing should be first minister and also he would make a better prime minister than keir starmer

89 million to have some meetings about having a meeting, is there anybody left who's not corrupt to the core

[@gmesuk61]

The thing that gets me is why are they reading an answer is it because they can make up a story long before the question is asked as they know it’s coming, of course it is

What happened to the commitment to duel the A9. I remember when it was announced thing sink that was a long time to wait. Its seems when this government fails, they get so aggressive for having the audacity to challenge them. I really don't understand why people continue to vote for them.

I really couldn’t care less what colour of rosette they wear, however we have such a woefully poor calibre of politician in the Scottish parliament, and the current government are (and have been) proliferated by serial failures and grifters who have held multiple briefs and made an arse of them all without sanction, Fiona Hyslop being a prime example. Bravo to Fergus Ewing who is clearly a man of integrity who focuses on the issues of his constituents rather than the politics of whataboutery, and will call out friend or foe. 👏

Up the speed limit to 50mph for HGV on single roads. Get traffic moving better cut down on risky overtakes caused by frustrated car drivers behind a HGV doing 40mph. Works in England works on the A9 as far as tore. So why not do it? Is it because England did it 1st? Are the SNP saying English drivers are better? English roads are better maintained?

Did you NOT listen to the total waffle from hislop,Ewing is the talking since Hislop is using word salad,she published it but it was so heavily redacted it wasn't worth reading

Yes, I did listen to it all, in great detail thank you.

[@daffytree2605]

@ColinMacLellan-m6p then how the hell can you condemn Ewing and not say a word about Hislop, 15 years ago they promised us this still waiting.

Oh wheesht will you? People are entitled to an opinion, you know.

[@daffytree2605]

@ColinMacLellan-m6p people are very much entitled to their opinion,so I will now give you my opinion, you are a snp troll who blindly believes that the SNP can do no wrong, that any dissent offered towards the snp from ANYONE is disloyal and needs to be shut down, guess what thats called dictatorship, read animal farm that sums up the snp to a tee, my opinion of course.
