Conservative MP Sir Bill Cash attacked SNP MP Drew Hendry in a furious debate in the House of Commons on Tuesday. Sir Bill was debating the Government's Brexit Internal Market Bill in


the House of Commons. He responded to SNP claims that independence and remaining in the EU would be beneficial to the northern nation. Sir Bill said: "Why on earth would the people of


Scotland want to subjugate themselves to a system in the European Union which we're escaping from - which has got such deleterious and tragic consequences for so many people and jobs in


Scotland as well as the rest of the UK? "He's arguing that Scotland could do this better but I'm telling him that the consequences of staying in the EU would be extremely


damaging. "The reality is that the manner that the European Union functions, behind closed doors without even a transcript. "Not to mention the European Commission, which is wholly


un-elected." READ MORE: SNP BRUTALLY SLAPPED DOWN AFTER BEING ISSUED DIRE BREXIT WARNING He added: "This is very very bad news for Scotland as it stands. "It would be no


substitute for the much more objective and down-to-earth way...in which the UK will ensure the people of Scotland are looked after." The Tory MP then went on to use the example of


working class industries that were negatively impacted in previous decades. He said: "There are many many people in Scotland in the coal mining and steel industries who's jobs were


decimated in the last century as they were in England." Scotland voted overwhelmingly to remain in the EU during the 2016 referendum. The results for the nation came back at 62 percent


Remain versus 38 percent Leave. Brexit has now become one of the major drivers for Scottish independence. The First Minister confirmed that the SNP will make the case for a second Scottish


independence referendum at the 2021 Holyrood elections. The SNP is predicted a landslide victory as they're expected to win over 53 percent of the constituency vote.
