End of twitter postTory MSP accuses SNP of grievance over Brexitpublished at 16:51 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2017
Brexit Minister Mike Russell asks why only one Tory MP voted against Article 50 which shows they were bludgeoned into the lobbies at Westminster.
Tory MSP Jackson Carlaw moves on and says when the prime minister gave clarification she was met with SNP cries of that is a disgrace, which is the definition of grievance.

Mr Carlaw says amendments can be made at Westminster to the Article 50 legislation but the SNP were unable to persuade MPs to select any of theirs.
Labour MSP Daniel Johnson says the UK government had to be dragged to Westminster to have a debate on Article 50.
Mr Carlaw again carries on with his argument.
He concludes saying this is a critical point and Article 50 will be triggered and it is now important to influence the actual debate that is taking place.

Tory MSP Jackson Carlaw says we were told it was going to be a historic debate but the party that had the most members in the chamber throughout is the Scottish Conservatives.
Mr Carlaw says the Scottish government has not faced up to the fact that 38% of the people of Scotland voted to leave the EU.
The Tory MSP says, while the first minister talks about the voice of Scotland not being heard, it is impossible to see where she respected the views of those Scots who did vote to leave.
