DEVOLUTION in Scotland is coming under "unprecedented attack", Ian Blackford warned as he clashed with the Prime Minister over Brexit and a second Scottish independence referendum.
The SNP Westminster leader accused Boris Johnson of ignoring the Smith Commission which "recognises that it's up to the people of Scotland to determine their future".
Johnson claimed at Prime Minister's Questions that the SNP support "nothing except manufacturing grievances".
Blackford said: "Last night the Lords voted to reinstate the Sewel Convention that the devolved governments must give consent to legislation that affects them.
"Devolution is under attack from this Tory Government, powers are being grabbed back to Westminster, there is no respect for the people of Scotland, for Wales and Northern Ireland, their governments, or their decisions.
"Yesterday the Welsh Assembly became the third devolved Parliament to refuse consent for the Tory Brexit Bill.
"Why is the UK Government ignoring the principle of consent for our national government?"

Johnson replied: "(He) knows full well that it is no part or implication of the Sewel Convention to break up the oldest and most successful political union in the world."
Blackford claimed a power-grab from Westminster is taking place.
He said: "The Prime Minster ignores the Smith Commission that recognises that it's up to the people of Scotland to determine their future.
"The Prime Minister just doesn't get it, this is an unprecedented attack. Scotland said No and we meant it."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
