Covid-19: Future UK-EU Relationship (15 Jul 2020)

Patricia Gibson: ...for hire; they could not find enough true believers in their cause. You can imagine, Mr Deputy Speaker, the quality of the candidates who applied and were eventually elected as a result. The Tory contempt for devolution is shown with the increasing attacks we have seen on the Parliament that belongs to the people of Scotland.

Claim of Right for Scotland (27 Jan 2020)

Patricia Gibson: ...No Westminster Government has the right to choose Scotland’s path, and how dare it even try! This Government must prepare themselves for what is coming, because their arrogance, intransigence and contempt for democracy show that the UK is fatally disunited and is about to lose Scotland. A sovereign people will not be silenced. We will not go quietly. The clock is ticking. This Union’s...

Early Parliamentary General Election (No. 2) ( 9 Sep 2019)

Patricia Gibson: ..., Mr Speaker. The people of Scotland voted overwhelmingly to remain in the EU. I seek your guidance because tonight not only have they been ignored, but their views have been dismissed with utter contempt. I ask you what outlet the people of Scotland can have until they can express their about their constitutional future as to being part of this moribund and corrupt Union, which has been...

TV Licences for over-75S ( 8 May 2019)

Patricia Gibson: ...to wages; it has been further damaged by the Tory Government’s plans to reduce eligibility for pension credit, leaving some couples out of pocket by £7,320 every year. If we throw in their contempt for women born in the 1950s regarding increases in the pension age, it is clear that the Government have no intention of honouring the contribution that our elderly population have made over...

Opposition Day - [15TH Allotted Day, 1ST Part]Opposition Day: Claim of Right for Scotland ( 4 Jul 2018)

Patricia Gibson: ...) Bill in the teeth of opposition from the democratically elected Scottish Parliament and the withholding of consent for that Bill from every political party, save the out-of-touch Tories, the contempt for Scotland, her people and her democratic institutions is as clear as it can be. Let us talk about the claim of right. Consent for clause 15 of the withdrawal Bill was withheld by a huge...

Leaving the EU: Implications for Scotland — [Sir Roger Gale in the Chair] ( 3 Jul 2018)

Patricia Gibson: ..., but it is about your country of Scotland and the people you represent. If you let me speak, we might get somewhere. To dismiss the fact that there has been a power grab shows a breath-taking contempt for devolution and the Scottish Parliament. Under the Scotland Act—

Points of Order (12 Jun 2018)

Patricia Gibson: ...Given that it was open to the Government to protect time properly to debate and vote on matters of importance to the devolved Governments, do you agree that what has happened today shows the utter contempt that the Government have for the democratically elected will of the Scottish Parliament, given the power grab that will now ensue?

Private Members’ Bills — [Valerie Vaz in the Chair] (13 Apr 2016)

Patricia Gibson: ...in the debate. There is no point in blaming it on procedure and saying, “That is how it works.” We looked at the response to the debate and what we saw was what very much appeared to be contempt and disregard for the very important issue that that private Member’s Bill was trying to address. What that tells those of us who were frustrated on that day and what it tells the public is...

Supply and Appropriation (Main Estimates) Bill: English Votes for English Laws (15 Jul 2015)

Patricia Gibson: ..., it will only convince even more Scots that the place of Scotland in this Union is simply not valued. It will convince even more Scots that those elected to speak for them are treated with contempt and dismissed as unimportant. Be prepared for a backlash from Scotland: the people of Scotland will simply not tolerate this riding roughshod over their democratic rights. I urge the Government...
