It has a wider strategic point for the SNP. They have been the only party whose MPs normally speak about Scottish contexts and Scottish affairs, to voice Scottish concerns or Scottish priorities. For generations, Scotland’s MPs were there solely as political cannon fodder for the London hierarchy’s priorities - their careers prospered or failed according to how slavish they were as votes in the lobby and how they toed the London line. They were directed entirely by party leaders who either who knew nor cared nothing for Scotland or who - like Brown - bent over backwards to erase the existence of ”north Britain” in parliamentary, governmental and public consciousness.

She's brilliant. Show's you how messed up our system is that the kind of person should be doing that job is forced out by all the sewage that shouldn't be given that power and influence.

Nae guid there! The Scottish Parliament is just an extension of Westminster. A fraudulent attempt to hoodwink Scots that Parliament reconvened. The Parliament of Scotland simply adjourned in March 1707 and is still pending it's next meeting with or without the permission of Westminster.

What a woman! Her standing down is a huge loss!

Mhairi being brilliant! It seems she's ended up asking herself what's the point? What's the point of Westminster and its detached insularity? Why take all the foul abuse she gets when nothing changes, while Starmer's crew simply trumpet no hope, more of the same? There is a point, of course, but it's not at Westminster. It's not what they say that counts, but what we do.

What a fantastic human being she is.

Absolute champion, wish her the best and please know you're a hero of mine, Mhairi.

Mhariri is so inspiring. Hope some people are inspired to get into parliament and change the environment.
