Mairi Black

[WindyNook]

Mhairi Black, the deputy leader of the SNP at Westminster, quotes someone saying we should be comfortable using the private sector more. And another said we should use the private sector more. Which was the PM, and which was the leader of the opposition?

Dowden starts by saying he is sorry Black is standing down. He says he and Black joined the Commons at the same time. And he says he knows Black will want to celebrate King Charles getting his Scottish regalia in Edinburgh today.

It’s a joke. Black is a republican, and she seems to find it funny.

Black says she and Dowden joined the Commons at the same time, “and I’m pretty sure we will be leaving at the same time”.

Doffs cap and leaves to raucous laughter

She’s made some cracking speeches from those benches. I think her leaving is a loss to more than just SNP voters.

As much as I don’t agree with her views of the union, I can understand why she has them…

I was quite disappointed that she will be leaving the benches as she has been a great politician and has had the lives of a few on opposing benches..

that repost was very Dennis skinnerish… and I feel she will be missed by the SNP…

Aww, I didn't know she was leaving. We need people like her to stir things up , and yet be confident and powerful about their beliefs
