Unjustified slur?

The Times sticks it to the SNP:
... the SNP has a point about Scotland and Brexit being debated on Tuesday for just 15 minutes, and that was all taken up by a minister from the border county of Buckinghamshire. But getting ejected from PMQs the next day is just more evidence of them rapidly becoming the Tom Cruise party of Westminster: small, dedicated to a strange religion, and relying on increasingly outlandish stunts to get work in front of the cameras.
When the 56 SNP MPs arrived in 2015 they seemed like a force to be reckoned with: spookily disciplined and loyal, they won admirers for proving on social media that the only thing worth eating in parliament is the chips. Since losing a third of their number in last year’s general election, they have been reduced to a bunch of cunning stunts, trying to keep the show on the road. They are Take That, soldiering on without Robbie. Or Jason.
