Wishart suggests the UK is navigating its relationship with Europe with the grace and sobriety of a pub-goer heading for a tactical exit.

"The UK is now heading towards the European exit door like a stumbling drunk, cursing incomprehensibly."

Pete Wishart of the SNP criticises the UK government's stance on EU Justice and Home Affairs measures during a parliamentary debate. He argues that the UK's erratic behaviour regarding Europe threatens to take Scotland out of the EU against its will, advocating for a status of equal membership.
