Originally from Edinburgh, he previously worked as an investment banker and has been involved in various business ventures since. He was the national treasurer of the SNP from 1999 to 2000. Blackford has been the SNP Westminster Leader since Angus Robertson lost his seat at the 2017 snap general election.
On 31 January 2022, Blackford was ordered to withdraw from the House of Commons for the remainder of the sitting day, by Speaker Lindsay Hoyle, under Standing Order 43 (grossly disorderly conduct), after he repeatedly stated that Boris Johnson had misled the House in a debate on Partygate, and refused to qualify his remarks to state that the misleading was “inadvertent”.
