Excellent interview with #MhairiBlack with #TheNewsAgents
on the crazy insanity of the desperately outdated Westminster museum version of government, its pantomime design, culture and genuine toxicity.

I don't blame #MhairiBlack AT ALL for wanting out at this point. #Westminster is stressful; and politics as a whole is stressful, so it's not like moving to #Holyrood would solve every problem.
She's a great asset to the #SNP and independence movement, but she is human and it's absolutely her choice, regardless of how disappointed others may be.

Sad news from the birdsite:
BREAKING: @MhairiBlack
tells @maitlis
she is stepping down as an MP at the next general election.
She says Westminster is a “toxic workplace” that has taken its toll on her "body and mind".

#MhairiBlack to #OliverDowden “We did join this house at the same time and I’m pretty sure we’ll be leaving it at the same time” 🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏 Even the Tories laughed!
I have just listened to #TheNewsAgents interview with #MhairiBlack. She is an impressive woman and politician. #SNP at #Westminster will poorer without her.
However, #Scotland will be enriched by her returning home. I doubt she will disappear completely from public life! 😉
I wish her a happy retirement!

#MhairiBlack ‘has been a trailblazer - a passionate supporter of independence, equality, social justice, and simply of trying to make life better for her constituents.’
This is completely understandable and also a tragic loss to the whole UK.

This will be such a loss for the UK's parliament and electorate.

It's shame to see Mhairi Black stepping down as an MP at the next election. Although I fully understand why she's done it
We need more MPs like her
Come home and become First Minister plz. :blobcataww:
What better way of proving #GaryLineker right about comparisons between the dehumanising rhetoric of the #Tory government and #1930s Germany rhetoric than for the state broadcaster to silence him for calling it out?
As I noticed in my own case when I had an attempted pile-on from Yoons on the bird site for saying similar things a few weeks ago along with a #MhairiBlack quote about #fascism, the far right really don't like being called far right.
#fascism #MhairiBlack #1930s #tory #GaryLineker
Can people tell me about the 'Yoons'? I mean, I know the basics - they're pro-Unionist (by definition), tend to support a certain team 😉 , are very anti-Catholic and have very bigoted attitudes in general.
I'm curious because a few of them attempted a pile-on of me on the bird site over a tweet from weeks ago in which I quoted a #MhairiBlack speech.
It was instigated by Yoons and all their followers seem to be crackpots, kippers, conspiraloons and far-right weirdos. Are they all like this?
☑️
Is #MhairiBlack the only sane person left in politics 🤔
I don't know if #MhairiBlack will run for SNP leader and First Minister, but I am full of admiration for this woman.
She's absolutely bang on in this quote. I have been observing with alarm for some time how the UK - England in particular - has been on a trajectory that looks more like early 1930s Germany by the day.
The decent people of the UK need leaders like Mhairi Black and, even more importantly, we need a new MOVEMENT to offer a clear, positive, inclusive alternative to the hatemongers
#mhairiBlack for #firstMinister, please.
