Penny Mordaunt ridiculed the SNP with a mock version of the carol The Twelve Days of Christmas.
The Commons Leader took aim at the nationalist party’s record in Scotland as she reeled off a series of blows such as the police probe into its finances and eye-watering roaming charges racked up by an SNP minister on his Holyrood-issued iPad.
Ms Mordaunt was responding to her SNP counterpart Deirdre Brock who asked about “morality” during business questions.
Ms Mordaunt told MPs: “I think we should have a festive round-up on SNP morality: 12 hours of police questioning, 11-grand roaming charges, 10 years without school inspections, nine sham embassies, eight years of poor child mental health, seven years without ferries, six years shirking welfare powers.”

To the tune of “five gold rings”, she added: “£500 million overspent on Edinburgh’s tram.
“£4 million to install a heat pump, three high-profile arrests, two overseas jollies, and a dodgy Jaguar EV.”
Ms Mordaunt added: “I thank her. I have succeeded in bringing a smile to her face and I must thank her for being the gift that keeps on giving at business questions.
“I hope that in 2024 better things are destined for the Scottish people.”
