Image source, HoCSNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford says Boris Johnson will be "the last prime minister of the United Kingdom".
There are questions over Mr Johnson's mandate, he states, adding: "It horrifies me that the new prime minister finds his position through such an undemocratic process."
"Scotland did not vote for Brexit, we did not vote for no deal, and we most certainly did not vote for this prime minister," he says.
No deal could lead to a "£30bn black hole in the public finances," Mr Blackford states, calling this "the height of irresponsibility".
Mr Johnson replies that "the people of this country have voted in 2015, 2016 and 2017" and now they want to see politicians get on with Brexit.

Image source, HoCBoris Johnson says under no circumstances will the UK agree to a trade deal with the US which involves the NHS.
The living wage is a Conservative policy, he states, adding that it has expanded the incomes of those who receive it by £4,500 since 2010.
He accuses Jeremy Corbyn of being paid by Iran's Press TV and therefore siding with that country.
He says Mr Corbyn has now been turned "into a Remainer" having finally been "reprogrammed" by those on the Labour benches.
"This government is clearly on the side of democracy," he states. "We are the party of the people."

Mr Corbyn also says the new PM's plan for government is based on "tax cuts for the few" and a "race-to-the-bottom Brexit".
Finishing his reply, he adds that the country does not need "arm-waving bluster" but "competence and seriousness".

"The wealthy elite that fund [Mr Johnson's] party will not lose their jobs" in a no-deal Brexit, Jeremy Corbyn says.
He argues that any deal tabled by the Conservatives must be subject to a confirmatory referendum.
He confirms that Labour would "campaign to remain" if a Tory Brexit deal was put to the public.
"The office of prime minister requires integrity and honesty," Mr Corbyn adds, asking Mr Johnson to correct previous claims he's made on the EU.

Jeremy Corbyn says the government has "no plan for Brexit".
He says Boris Johnson was in the cabinet that accepted the backstop in the withdrawal agreement, and he voted for it earlier this year.
"Can he explain this flip-flopping?" he asks, adding that the new PM is now setting "rigid red lines" and an "artificial timetable" for Brexit talks.
However, he welcomes his pledge over EU citizens' rights, although he says it is regrettable it has "only been made now".
