Conservatives are generally pro-free speech; it's the leftists who are all about censorship and controlling the narrative. The issue we face is that all the major parties are left-leaning and no-one has the backbone to vote for a party which has this country's interests at heart and not their own.

It's a shame that the great things a Paisley upbringing instilled in Mhairi, failed to do the same to Mary Truss during her few years there...

I have never been a fan of Mhairi Black but this was an excellent speech, it’s a pity it won’t get wider coverage and follow up

Very well said Maihri,that was an amazing speech.

What I take from Mhari is how unusually afraid she looks making this speech. Its obviously something she hated having to point out. Bravery isnt the absence of fear, its the triumph over it...and theres nothing more dangerous than speaking the truth to power.

At last someone who isn't afraid to say it how it is !!!!! We need to do something now if we want to start undoing this damage

Well seen as the UKIP's manifesto was exactly the same as the BNP's who met with the KKK, that was then adopted by the Brexit party and the Conservative, she is not wrong at all. Brexit party candidates stood down to vote Conservative. With the change of voter laws we are seeing the start of something already. Criminal leaders are also a common trend.

I’m inclined to believe that what you say about UKIP’s manifesto being “exactly” the same as the BNP’s to be untrue. As I recall didn’t the BNP plan to give every non-white Briton in Britain £50,000 to leave? Where was that in UKIP’s manifesto? But that’s beside the point since something isn’t axiomatically wrong because of who devised it.

That is one of the finest speeches that's been given in the House for many years. The major flaw being the fact that it was delivered to an almost deserted room. It's so frustrating to watch someone give an impassioned, articulate cry from the heart, only to have it bounce back from the opposite wall. I really wish that this was playing, on a loop, in every public building, uni, school & mall in the country. We've *got* to get younger people involved, surgically remove them from their phones if need be. How do we get them to understand what rights & freedoms are being clawed away by this govt? This is *their* world now & they've got to learn to protect it from corrupt, self-serving, greedy politicians & their business overlords. We *need you* now so eyes up, chests out & get the barricades ready!

agree - the tories are all doing the second jobs of course. Why would they go to the chamber? Their money is alrerady guaranteed. They need to build on their contacts and make more.

Brilliant speech, so true and delivered with sincerity, but, many people in the land have to share responsibility for this. They gave the Tories a massive majority, despite knowing all the lies the tories have put out over the years, so next time you vote, think long and hard and get rid of an uncaring government with a prime minister who only cares about himself.

Wow, a full house, eh. This speech hits every nail on the head.

We need more representatives like Mhari Black. She’s a credit to her profession and she’s absolutely right, we’ve seen this decline for centuries. In modern times for me at least, the governments under Blair, Brown, Cameron, May and now Johnson. Starmer is no different. The media, foreign interference and big business have all played a part. Anyone that speaks up, immediately gets silenced, just look what happened to Corbyn.

We need to see more of her. Say it as it is 👏👏👏

Excellent speech !

Great speech. It’s exactly true, and the Tories just do not care. I hope that people stop ‘doffing the cap’ to the Tories and start realising what is going on. Rather than looking down on others, when people realise that ordinary people are all equal, we will look up at the establishment, and realise what they are doing is completely wrong and vote against them.

Mahairi Black is telling the brutal truth, point by point. It should be broadcast, repeated and discussed countrywide by all media, sadly it's not and even in Parliament the words of thruth are directed to empty Tory benches. Thanks for sharing it here.

This the first time I've been aware of this brilliant and inspiring politician. Mhairi Black's speech is astonishing, but is also frightening. I just wish that the multitude of selfish people in this country take note and consider us all who live here. May be they need to be frightened in order for fairness for all to take place. Well said Mhairi.
