BBC's Dead Ringers mocks SNP Parliament walk out with skit
BBC comedians Jon Culshaw, Jan Ravens, Lewis McLeod, Debra Stephenson and Duncan Wisbey took aim at the Scottish politicians during an episode of BBC Radio 4's Dead Ringers.
On Wednesday, the SNP's Westminster contingent left the Commons to protest the ejection of MP Ian Blackford for interrupting the Prime Minister and John Bercow with demands for an emergency debate on the impact of Brexit on Scotland.
The group impersonated Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Mr Bercow in a side-splitting comedy act.
Ms Ravens said: "In Parliament, dozens of Scottish nationalist MPs stormed out after leader Ian Blackford was ejected following a row with Speaker Jon Bercow. SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon joins us on the line now."
Comedienne Debra Stephenson pulled out her best Sturgeon impersonation, saying: "It’s a constitutional crisis to be cut off by the Speaker of the House in that manner is truly..."
But she was then interrupted by "Speaker of the House" John Bercow ordering both Ms Ravens and Mr Culshaw "out of the studio" for their "impertinence and effrontery": "Order! Order! That’s enough from you: you are ejected.
"Order. If the Right Honourable and Honourable presenters refuse to seat this line of questioning – order! - then I will be forced forthwith to eject you from this studio.
"This is a flagrant – order – lack of respect towards the Speaker which will not be tolerated in this Chamber nor any other. Order."

Order! Order! That’s enough from you: you are ejected
The comedian continued: "Never in my life have I – order – been faced with such brazenly impertinence and effrontery. You are banned from this studio. Get out."
Before being "ejected" from the studio, Mr Culshaw said: "Mr Bercow, some would argue that you enjoy this attention a little too much and that power is somehow going to your head."
Despite having been granted permission from "Mr Bercow" to carry on presenting the programme, Ms Ravens said: "No, if Jon's out, I'm out too."
"I'm walking out in solidarity. Goodbye"
