Oh dear. Some factual inaccuracy there.

Blackford didn't ask for emergency legislation, he asked for an immediate vote to hold a private sitting to have a debate.

We were in the middle of PMQs which is only meant to last thirty minutes. He was asked to wait until PMQs ended, which seems perfectly reasonable, but then this wasn't about being reasonable, it was about pulling a publicity stunt.

And five SNP MPs let down their constituents by storming out in the huff when they were meant to be asking questions on their constituents' behalfs.

EDIT - we are maybe at cross-purposes, I'm talking about the heckling which got him expelled, you are talking about before that. Sorry for any confusion.

Thanks.

As I said earlier, I watched the debate on the EU withdrawal bill, and the comment by, Bercow telling them to make the case in other ways. Following day, blackford asks may for emergency legislation in his first question, he then proceeds to ask for the house to sit in private... All hell let's loose.

I know you don't like looking at this site, but it has full video evidence of what is described.

Yeah, thanks - I caught it elsewhere, but watched it again. Bercow is supposed to have staff there to guide him on the finer points of parliamentary procedure. Between them, they didn't cover themselves in glory.
