An SNP MP has said she does not "give a stuff" about how much Donald Trump has invested in Scotland because of his controversial immigration policies.

Kirsty Blackman (Aberdeen North) told the Commons that separating families was "far worse" than any good that could have come out of the American president's investments north of the border.

Mr Trump's "zero tolerance policy" led officials to take more than 2,000 children from their parents as they tried to enter the country illegally, most of them fleeing violence, persecution or economic collapse in their home countries.

Ms Blackman's comments came after Conservative MP Bill Grant (Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock) intervened on the SNP economy spokeswoman during an Estimates Day debate on Treasury spending decisions and their consequences for grants to the devolved institutions.

He said Mr Trump was "one of the single biggest investors in Scotland".

"Whether it be in the north-east in Aberdeen, in my constituency in Turnberry, where he employs 300 people and invested over £200 million in my constituency, I would welcome Donald Trump to my constituency.

"Would you agree?"

Ms Blackman replied: "I do not give a stuff how much Donald Trump has invested in Scotland because he is separating families and that is far worse than any good that he has done with any investment that he has made."

She had earlier said she was pleased the Treasury were offering to provide an extra £5 million for policing costs, should the American president visit Scotland on his trip to the UK next week.

Ms Blackman said she was "not a big fan" of the visit, but said: "It's completely reasonable that the UK Government cover this cost."
