Mhairi Black has been told off by the deputy speaker for swearing in the House of Commons during a debate.
The SNP Westminster deputy leader was reprimanded after saying that members of the UK Government "seemed to have been pished half the time at parties" during lockdown.
Black was speaking during an opposition day debate on food inflation in the House of Commons.
The Paisley and Renfrewshire South MP was referring to several parties held in Downing Street by UK Government and Conservative Party staff while the rest of the country was in lockdown.
The gatherings were investigated by the Metropolitan Police and 126 people were fined. Among those fined were former Prime Minister Boris Johnson and current PM Rishi Sunak.
Black said during the debate on Tuesday afternoon: "This is a dangerous government making bad decisions, on top of a global pandemic.
"But mind you, we shouldn't be surprised, given the fact they seem to have been pished half the time at parties in No10."
There were laughs from the SNP benches.
She continued: "So as I said, there is an element of truth that the war in Ukraine for instance has also..."
Black was then interrupted by deputy speaker Rosie Winterton who told her off for swearing.
Winterton said: "Can I just say to the honourable lady: she really must not use language like that. Please don't.
"I hope you will apologise."
Black replied: "They were inebriated, intoxicated, paralytic at parties in No10. Is that alright?"
Winterton said Black "should be quite careful" before telling her to continue.
Before resuming her speech, Black added: "I don't see what I said that wasn't true, madam deputy speaker, but I take it."
