Two MPs have been dramatically thrown out of the House of Commons at PMQs.
Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle made the rare decision to name and shame Alba MPs Neale Hanvey and Kenny MacAskill, who appeared to drown out Boris Johnson by shouting about Scottish independence.
His voice shaking with fury, Mr Hoyle yelled: "Out now" before ordering the Serjeant-at-arms to escort them away from the chamber.
It was an unsavoury start to the Prime Minister's penultimate PMQs, and his first since announcing he was stepping down.
It was later confirmed that they would be banned for five sitting days after MPs backed a move for the pair to be suspended "from the services of this House".
Mr MacAskill appeared to say "we need a referendum in the Prime Minister"- before being drowned out by other MPs.
He refused to sit down and continued to speak, prompting Sir Lindsay to act.
Westminster party leader Mr Hanvey then rose to his feet and could not be heard over the heckling from Tory MPs, before he was subsequently told to leave the chamber.
As the furore unfolded, Sir Lindsay yelled: "I will not tolerate this behaviour."
The no-nonsense Speaker then warned the pair that they could face being suspended from the Commons if they persisted.
He shouted: "If you want to go out, go out now, but if you stand up again I will order you out now - make your mind up."
Mr Johnson appeared to wave his arms in the direction of the heckling before Sir Lindsay intervened.
After taking the unusual decision to name the pair, the Speaker decided enough was enough, fuming: "Neale Hanvey I'm now naming you and Kenny MacAskill to leave this chamber."
He then instructed: "Serjeant, deal with them."
Former SNP member Mr Hanvey, 57, is now the Alba Party's Westminster leader having defected in March last year. He has been an MP since 2019.
The party's deputy Westminster leader, Mr MacAskill, also defected from the SNP last year, having been elected following the last General Election.
Mr Hanvey later said in a statement released through the party: “Why should we respect the rules of the House of Commons when Westminster will not respect Scottish democracy.
"People back home are sick and tired of the House of Commons dismissing the democratic right of Scotland to determine its own future."
Shameless Mr Johnson boasted he will leave office with his “head held high” in an unapologetic PMQs.
The Prime Minister broke cover in Parliament for the first time since he sensationally resigned on Thursday.
After sleaze scandals over parties, ethics, donors and the £112k renovation of his flat, he finally forced out by his own MPs over claims he lied about what he knew of sexual harassment claims against a whip.
But Mr Johnson today said he was “proud” of his record in a defiant statement - even as Tory leadership contenders jostle to wipe out his record on tax.
And he hinted it could be his last Prime Minister’s Questions, despite the fact he is due to turn up next Wednesday for the last time.
Mr Johnson suggested the leadership contest could be cut off early before a ballot by members, despite the fact all contenders have voted to fight through the summer until a new leader is picked on September 5.
The PM jokingly thanked Keir Starmer for being “considerably less lethal than other members of this House,” adding: “Over three years in spite of every opportunity, he’s never really come up with an idea, a plan or a vision for this country.”
Boris Johnson’s Press Secretary said there were “no plans” for him to skip his final PMQs next week - but did not rule it out.
“The Prime Minister will be doing PMQs next week as things currently stand,” she told journalists.
Mr Johnson’s official spokesman also did not rule out him making foreign trips before he resigns as PM in September.
It’s understood Boris Johnson plans to go to Buckingham Palace to hand his resignation to the Queen on September 6, the day after his successor is named.
No10 refused to say whether he would rip out any of the £112,000 of furnishings he ended up paying to have put in the Downing Street flat - after originally trying to get a donor to foot the bill.
“That’s not a question I’ve asked,” his Press Secretary said.
No10 was also unable to say if the PM has started drawing up his resignation honours list, which could hand final gongs to cronies.
