That was until the Cons removed their amendment and then the Cons refused to take part in the voting.

I don't get the SNPs moaning now
I can accept they were rightly annoyed 2 amendments to their motion were permitted.

However those amendments were accepted before the debate started by all Parties and all Parties took part in the debate all through.

Then seconds before the votes were due to be taken, the Cons pulled their own amendment and refused to vote at all.

Bizarre and ridiculous.

i may have misunderstood what was happening, but i believe it was a day dedicated to the SNP opposition where labour basically hijacked it with their own motion, and then the speaker went with the labour motion rather than the SNP one meaning their dedicated opposition day motion was denied to them. If I got that right (from all the mess) then I can see why they were peeved
