Mhairi Black on Scottish independence and Jeremy Corbyn

The SNP's Mhairi Black was just 20 when she took one of the biggest scalps in British politics, unseating the shadow foreign secretary and becoming parliament's youngest MP for 300 years. As well as politics.

Seems to me that she is how politicians should be. Humble, genuine and serving the people.

[@mrstevieboy4914]

I speak as a member of the SNP, so some might think me biased......but that lassie speaks more sense than a huge number of MP's put together. Her honesty, directness and common sense approach to politics is truly a breath of fresh air. No wonder that so many young people listen to her in a manner far removed from mainstream politicians. I do so wish that there were more Mhairi's around. Then we might just get progressive politics......

+qwertyuiopasdf637 Your view of the world is no way represented by the SNP, the SNP are centralist in action. They have hamstrung the councils and centralised most things like the police and the fire service. There is a plan for the councils to become only six, thats further centralisation not a greate opening of local democracy. I don't care if the parliament is in London or Edinburgh especially if none of them are saying anything different. The SNP are enacting austerity on Britain they are failing to live up to left wing values, they have followed purely right wing economic values, tax cuts for the rich both indivdually and at a company level. The council tax freeze benefits the richer citizens of the councils not the poorer as the poor overwhlemingly use the services provided by the council including the extra ones which have essentially disappeared. Soon this is going to completely ruin our local governance. The SNP speak about powers to allow Scotland to be more economicically dynamic which makes sense in a way. If a situation can be jumped upon faster by having a closer legislative body enact it faster than fair enough but this is totally been undone by the SNPs refusal to allow local councils take the same economic independence. they believe in centralisation. They believe in One voice not many. The Syria vote was a classic they absolutely harrangued LAbour for not putting a whip on saying that Jeremy Corbyn was failing, failing because he was unwilling to force his fellow parliamentarians vote for something they completely disagreed with. To make matters worse they trumpeted their own absolute rejection of bombing Syria fair enough but this was done under a three line whip something that should not be needed considering all SNP MPS did not believe in bombing why was the party not allowed to show itself truly of that view by allowing a free vote and showing that without the party breathing done their neck they would take the correct moral choice instead they screamed for freedom while chaffing at their own collars and chains.

Titanic's central themes revolved around a backdrop of the class system, wealth inequality and societal expectations of female behavior. To say there's no politics in that film isn't accurate. Other than that, i've got a lot of time for Mhairi Black. Very engaging and honest communicator, and gives me hope, along with Corbyn that politics is evolving.

[@henderz174]

The question was based on how Titanic relates to Mhairi Black in her life. One would assume her playing Titanic is a metaphor for her political desire to lead an Independent Scotland in a life boat, leaving the UK behind. It wasn't about the movie, just Mhairi Black.

Stop moaning, all expences paid for , traval , meals, drinks, every penny paid for by us the tax payer, Plus her sallary. Dream job

I'm sure she will "fight" for her constituents with relentless passion. She stood up in the commons chamber and gave a speech. Well... is that really such an admirable achievement for a 20 year old, final year university student? ... Really... I mean ... she raised some very concerning issues within the UK today.... spoke clearly, eloquently and some polite humour too .... great... but what solutions did she offer other than party rhetoric? OK ... a maiden speech... bit harsh maybe.... But this fawning over her, presenting her as this inspirational figure for us all and especially the young.... All she has done is get elected... on the back of a surge of Scottish home pride... X factor sounds about right... Let's wait till she releases her album before hailing her as the bright new star on the political scene. Oh yeah and .... Still using the honking line that the UK is finished, but the EU is the way forward? .... You are a Unionist Mhairi!!!! .... It's just you and your party think you'll have better luck negotiating a fair deal for the Scottish part of one when most of the other delegates in the chamber don't speak the same language.... Brilliant.

Point 1) Leaving the British Union to join the European Union = Independence. How? Point 2) How can anyone be for affordable housing and higher wages and at the same time support mass immigration and open borders? High demand = low wages and high property prices and high rents. Yes, you could tax the crap out of the richest people, but do that and most of them will just transfer their wealth abroad or move to a cheaper country, as they always do. I've asked this question 10 times already, I still can't get an answer. Point 3) Does anyone know how to get off this stupid planet?

[@JwayT]

Socialist logic mate.

[@sponnygit]

I'll answer point 3: To leave planet earth 1: Place loaded gun under chin, barrel pointing towards brain. 2: Pull trigger slowly so as not to lose target. Hope this helps you ?! It would certainly help humanity ;-)

+Pete Moffat 'I've asked this question 10 times already, I still can't get an answer.'......................AND STILL NO ANSWER. I even took the trouble of writing personally to Owen Jones a few days back, and he hasn't replied either. Perhaps the answer is 42?

[@JwayT]

Ade Falcon and you never will, most SNP supporters are too dumb to realise that the SNPs 'independence' campaign is a blatant joke, it couldn't be any more obvious how much of a joke it is and that is why you get morons like Moffat talking complete shit. And Mhairi Black would be a nobody if she was judged solely on her politics.

[@sponnygit]

+WayT101 Yup, you tell 'em... SNP Bad !!!!

[@BossySwan]

Remarkably smug woman considering her tender age.

[@casperwallace9685]

Called confident

[@wingclaws]

Amazing two so alien cultures being able to communicate :)

[@AnaisEngland]

+Andrew Evans Which just shows that they aren't so alien.

[@jamiegalbraith4874]

She is definitely the most impressive young woman I’ve ever encountered.

[@keysersoze4322]

Musn't have encountered many, then.

[@toni25681]

Mhairi Black is a pretentious, false, rude, character who is the embodiment of what politics has become, i.e. a ridiculous farce!
