Turkeys waiting for Christmas! Rees-Mogg thrashes SNP chief's claim Brexit is a tragedy

Commons leader Jacob Rees-Mogg delivered a brutal slapdown of SNP MP Tommy Sheppard's claim Brexit is a "tragedy" for the United Kingdom.


The SNP MP told Jacob Rees-Mogg he believed the House will soon lose confidence in him unless he agreed to MPs debating the nature of MPs' virtual participation in Parliament. 


Mr Sheppard also claimed Brexit is a "tragedy" for the UK as he reiterated his party's bid to split the country with a second independence referendum in Scotland. 


But the House of Commons leader blasted in response: "It's never difficult to tell the difference between a member of the SNP with a grievance and a ray of sunshine.


"It seems to me that the cloud across any ray of sunshine can always be provided by the Honourable Gentleman.

"And what does he say today? He says that a debate of over two hours is undemocratic.

"It was undemocratic to have a debate. That I think is an unusual view to hold.

"And then he thinks that a democratic vote of 52 percent of the people of the United Kingdom to leave the European Union is a disaster.

"He seems only to like the votes that he wins!
