Scots will back independence as they want to "get the hell out" of the "sleazy cesspit" of Westminster, an SNP MP has claimed.
Pete Wishart used business questions in the House of Commons to highlight an opinion poll suggesting majority support for Scottish independence.
A new Ipsos Mori poll revealed that 55 per cent of people polled would vote Yes in an independence referendum if it were to take place in the future.
According to the poll support for separation is at its highest level for just over a year.
Backing for independence has risen by five percentage points compared to a similar survey conducted before the Scottish Parliament election in May.
The SNP's shadow Commons leader said: "The Scottish people are looking at this corrupt, sleazy cesspit and they do not like what they see.
"They're quickly determining it's time to get the hell out of this place."
Commons Leader Jacob Rees-Mogg replied: "He wants to bat back and forth opinion polls, and I note even SNP supporters don't think having a referendum on independence is very important.
"I think they want to see the SNP Government in Scotland getting on with running Scotland properly and making the health service work, and building the roads and dealing with all the problems they're singularly failing to deal with."
According to the poll Boris Johnson's ratings are at their lowest ever level with just 16 per cent of people satisfied with his performance.
Four in five (80 per cent) were dissatisfied with the job he is doing as Prime Minister.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is still the highest rated party leader in Scotland with 58 per cent saying they are satisfied and 38 per cent revealing they are dissatisfied with her performance.
