Penny Mordaunt mocks SNP with ‘Twelve Day of Christmas’ poem<\/h3>\n

SNP MPs have been mocked for wasting time on trivial issues while their party announces tax hikes north of the border.<\/p>\n

MPs for the pro-independence party have launched a new campaign to get Rishi Sunak to \u201cacknowledge the contribution of the idea of Santa Claus to Christmas\u201d.<\/p>\n

The oddly worded mission statement details demands from 10 of the party\u2019s Westminster MPs that parliament should \u201crecognise the importance of Santa Claus to children\u201d.<\/p>\n

It was created by Owen Thompson MP, the SNP\u2019s Chief Whip in Westminster and the man in charge of telling its MPs how to vote.<\/p>\n

The Early Day Motion echoes stunts by the Irish PM and the US Pentagon.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Last week Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar told parliament that Father Christmas had been granted official permission to enter Irish airspace with his sleigh and reindeer to deliver presents.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile the Pentagon\u2019s press secretary told a journalists\u2019 briefing that while details of assets and personnel involved in the escorting of Santa is \u201ccontrolled, unclassified information\u201d he could \u201cassure you we will ensure Santa gets wherever he needs to go, safely and security\u201d.<\/p>\n

The frivolous activities of the SNP\u2019s MPs down south prompted criticism from the Scottish Tories, who contrasted their behaviour to that of the Scottish Government.<\/p>\n

On a day the SNP\u2019s finance secretary unveiled huge tax rises for working people, Tory MSP Annie Wells told the Express: \u201cSNP MPs may claim to love Santa but their party\u2019s finance secretary at Holyrood is modelling herself on Scrooge by hammering Scottish taxpayers and councils in an effort to fill the \u00a31.5billion black hole in her budget\u201d.<\/p>\n
