fewer teachers came to power under the snp, one thousand fewer support staff than when the snp went tospending per pupil across all ages is down. if pupils spend had remained the same as the 2010—11 levels, primary schools would be 726 million pounds better off in secondary schools would be £308 million better off. i cannot see how what is proposed today addresses any of this. indeed it seems to me it's a classic avoidance technique when in doubt restructure. it did not work for police scotland, fire and rescue, it did not work for colleges and it will not work for our schools. presiding officer, i have used much of this summer recess to meet and listen to people and listen to what they have to say. the teachers i spoke to over the summer told me about the impact of the cuts in schools and in classrooms. work loads that they have been completely run off their feet. crass sizes that are far, fartoo run off their feet. crass sizes that are far, far too large. the need for more teaching assessments in their classrooms. they told me... —— class sizes. studio: that is alex rowley. first app

and pete wishart, the snp's spokesman on the constitution in the commons.king him, given that the uk was leaving the eu, how he would tackle brexit? my view is that there functionality of the repeal bill, the way it applies across the nations of the united kingdom, suggest this is not the means to deliver it. i have just come from the debate and my sense is that some of the themes of the bill are starting to be set, a sense from the back bench of the conservative party and the front bench of the labour party and some others who have an interest, there could be progress made on all this. with respect, you haven't answered my question, what would you do differently? the key debate is going to come around the henry vii powers. to give his government all these powers when it comes to legislation. and i think if there was a means to deal with some of the big questions about this, it would probably be less unpalatable of that. even if the snp had a bill that dealt with the worst aspects of the henry viii powers, i was still be troubled. the idea from us that it i

the snp westminster leader did turn to brexit.me minister agree with me that immigration is essential to the strength of the uk economy as well as enhancing our diversity and cultural fabric? as i have said on many occasions before, overall immigration has been good for the uk, but what people want to see is control of that immigration. but i think what people want to see as a result of coming out of the european union. we are already able to exercise controls in relation to those who come to this country from outside the countries within the european union, and we continue to believe as a government that it's important to have net migration at sustainable levels. we believe that to be in the tens of thousands because of the impact particularly it has on people at the lower end of the income scale in depressing their wages. from the backbenches, a conservative raise the eu withdrawal bill, which mps are due to begin debating on thursday. it transfers eu laws into uk legislation, but there will need to be some changes to make those

how will the snp pay for this increasing public sector wage rises?l have to do it from the budget that the scottish government has at its disposal. although, she also said today that she is going to publish a series of papers to inform debate about the future structure of income tax in scotland. that is now set by the scottish government and the option of changing the rates and bounds in a way that could generate more cash. but for much of the decade, across the uk that have either been freezes on public sector pay or, for the last number of yea rs, pay or, for the last number of years, a 1% cap on the increases that are allowable. from next year, that are allowable. from next year, that will not apply in scotland but what the first minister has not said is exactly by how much nurses, firefighters, police officers and others will expect their pay to rise as she also said in her speech that any increases would have to be affordable. in other words they would have to be within the available budget for the government here. so quite possibly tax rises? w

the snp leader at westminster used his turn to accuse the government of economic incompetence.arnings has been significantly worse than almost any other developed country. in fact, real wages in the uk have fallen by 2.6% since 2007. wages are not growing, the cost of living is rising, household budgets are stretched. the government can find the money for quantitative easing, 435 billion since 2009, but they can't find the money for fiscal measures to grow the economy. this is a government that does not understand how to use economic levers and it is that people who pay the price. will the prime minister take responsibility for the government's gross mismanagement of the uk economy? in all of that rather lengthy question, never once did he record the increase in employment that has taken place across the united kingdom, what the figures showed today. he started off by standing up and complaining i had referenced the axe of the scottish government. he believes scotland should only be run by the scottish government, so i scottish people deserve us to talk in this house about what

in 1997, labour and the snp were unusually on the same side of the constitutional debate, but for veryld quell demands for independence. less than two decades on, scotland came close to voting to leave the uk. so, did tony blair make a mistake about what the consequences of devolution would be? i believed then, believe now, that if we hadn't done devolution you may have ended up with separation. people with no way through the choice between separation and status quo, there is obviously an enhanced risk that those people that believe the status quo is unacceptable, they don't get an alternative that is reasonable, therefore they think the only alternative is separation. alex salmond believed he could use a devolved scottish parliament as a stepping stone to an independent state. he signed up to devolution, as long as it did not prevent an independence referendum. you are more likely to come to independence through a parliament gradually accruing powers and then becoming authoritative enough to take a decision on independence, allow the people to take a decision on independence, than you

it's that that has got the labour party, some tories, the lib dems and the snp really having their neckt like the suggestion. they believe ministers are trying to grab power and are able to behave on a whim without consulting mps. this first vote on this huge bill looks like the fragile government arithmetic will hold because tory rebels are keeping their powder dry for many more occasions through the coming months and also there are some labour mps who are worried that if they vote against a could look like they are somehow trying to block grexit and go against the decision of the people. —— block brexit. it looks as though the government will get their way but there are 20 more occasions where there are 20 more occasions where the mps will make them sweat until the mps will make them sweat until the early hours. and it won't surprise you to hear that brexit dominated proceedings at the tuc annual conference. the general secretary frances 0'grady has called on politicians from all parties not to rule out staying inside the single market after britain leaves the eu. 0ur political corres

this is not stop the concern amongst some particularly labour mps on the opposition benches, and the snpy to work against the government but i think this bill will get through when it comes to the vote in three hours' time. this is provoking some colourful language from some parts. this is one tweet from some parts. this is one tweet from the sun newspaper reporter. talking about the euro—sceptic conservative sir henry lee. what exactly is a reason for bringing henry viii into this? many in the british parliament never made on ex used to bring up henry viii. in this context, it is all about powers. the so—called henry viii clauses. that is because he was fond of legislating by proclamation, bypassing government. some people see their powers the government wa nts see their powers the government wants now, changing legislation without parliamentary scrutiny, they are known as henry viii powers. as you say, that brexit backing mp made the point he supports henry viii in that light. he supports the government now in doing the same. even the conservative mps have some concern about this bill.
