As an Englishman, I will miss Mhairi Black's voice and contributions in parliament. She speaks for far more than her constituents, party members and fellow Scots.
Why anyone would think a political party that totally believes in everything being Privatised would 'honestly' do their very best to make a NATIONALIZED health service work is beyond me.
And yet many do. Smart people argue that while the NHS is being funded by less than half of what it was under Labour from government income (pre-global financial crash), the population is living longer now so even if the NHS was being funded at 10% it still wouldn't be enough. Let's test that theory.
Wiped the ghastly smile off Dowden's face in an instant. That this man should be planted as Deputy PM tells us all we need to know about this crop of Tories: they are scraping the bottom of the barrel and the dregs drip off the chosen one.
@@WVislandia Again, how is that brave?? Labour's policy is that Brexit is a disaster, but not that we shouldn't have done it (which is SNP policy).

I love Mhairi Black, she's the kind of person that can inspire the next generation to get involved in politics and not just shrug their shoulders and say "they're all the same".
The work environment in the UK in general is toxic. Countless lives and careers have been destroyed through bullying and nothing is done about it. Colleagues look the other way- no solidarity in most UK workplaces, and victims are on their own. Most unions are weak. Parliament reflects the state of this society and the public has what it deserves.
Love Mhairi, a shock and a shame she's leaving politics. She is a breath of air in the House of Parliament, tell it in clear explainable English, no word salads, no going round in circles without giving an answer. She's make a great prime minister for the UK.
Mhairi is standing down because SHE knew SHE will lose HER seat because HER constituents are fed up with SNP. That’s just to save her face just like Sturgeon who knew she will eventually be arrested. She didn’t want to be the very first FIRST MINISTER to be arrested.
She’s leaving Westminster because it’s too much hard work for her. Basically she wants to become an MSP instead. As MSPs in Hollyrood get Mondays and Fridays off and just do 9-5 Tues, Wed and Thur. She basically wants to work LESS but keep a high salary.
Please dont go Mhairi, even though you dont even represent my area or even country I feel you represent us as the people better than anyone else in that house, Your speeches are thoughtful and heartfelt, and you comebacks and putdowns are legendary 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yea going to miss Mhairi Black she's so good at speaking and telling the government what she and others think of them. We can only hope others like her step up
It's such a shame that an Ideal example of what a politician SHOULD be (ie people focused working for progress in society etc) is leaving due to... in her words the "toxic" environment that is Westminster. It really feels like a battle has been lost! The few good ones losing ground to the selfish greedy corrupt majority. Who will fight for the people if all we have left is corporate owned mouth pieces? Really makes me feel hopeless 😞
I wondered why she was stepping down. The raised eyebrow expression she gave to someone on her right at the end explained it. She speaks when and where it matters most. She has lost patience with the toxic culture within Westminster. She rightly protects her mental health. The shame is that there aren't enough in the House willing to effect change.
Starmer is a corporate owned mouthpiece and I don’t see any improvement on the horizon if Labour get in , I know the tories are diabolical but will it get better?! I think not.
She's wasted on the front line of UK politics. This is a tactical retreat to shore up the SNP's hold over Scotland, which has been weakened by a concerted English government effort since Sturgeon left ... utilising MI5 and police raids to arrest and interrogate Sturgeon as part of the smear campaign they hope will diminish the SNP (a motorhome? seriously?!) so they can take back Scotland. Her homeland needs her, and she's answered the call. Entertaining as she is, she can't do any good in this rats' nest of a parliament. The SNP has many talented Westminster members, but when Scotland is on the line, they need to retreat back to the keep at Holyrood and make sure that Scotland never gets "Torified" (which WILL occur if Labour gets back in in Scotland) I still think Stephen Flynn is a superb young commander (only 34! I can't believe it!) in the heart of Westminster. His jokes at the expense of the Tories are priceless ... he doesn't need to retreat just yet .. he just needs to keep the Tories occupied with his dazzling wit! [and by "Tory", I also mean "Labour" - because they are both the same. Parasites both who do not deserve power, but are gifted it due to a dreadful electoral system every time]
@@jazzx251imagine being so brainwashed by a politicial party that you believe they can do no wrong in any shape or form despite ongoing independent investigations
Your grovelling is the reason why things are bad. It's the Brits who vote for these "corporate owned mouth pieces", so it's the Brits who are responsible for the mess. If you want people to represent you, then vote for them; maybe the ones declared as "independent".
Because the checks & balances in place to prevent the lies and misinformation in parliament are not fit for purpose. They were introduced in an earlier era when MPs had principles, respect for the institution and knew truth was important. Sadly this has been tested and eroded over the last few years - they realise they can get away with it. And also they know that if most “ordinary” people hear something often enough they believe it. We are all being gaslit on a national scale.
The Conservative Party delivering for the NHS ?!!! Give me a break! They can’t wait to get rid of it. And we can’t wait to get rid of them. Do they really think people are that stupid? On another note, so so sorry to see MB leaving - she was a glimmer of hope for Scotland and I so enjoy seeing her put the Tories in their place time after time. What a terrible loss.
Sad she’s leaving but Pestminster is toxic as all hell and it’s unsurprising. Sick burn though, and even Dowden knows he hasn’t got a snowball’s chance in hell of surviving a GE.
That’s based off a general election from 2019. If the local council elections are anything to go by you’re dead wrong, not to mention general voting intention of the general public. There’s a reason that joke works well… because it’s true.

This woman has Honour something sadly missing in todays World, A personal sense that I myself First cause no harm to others, simply because I don't want them to harm ME, But it seems that was lost in the Upbringing of most of the Tory MP's, in "OUR" House of Commons,
Another Englishman that feels Mhairi spoke for me more than almost any other MP in years. We need more of her, not less. Funny how the pm said yesterday (?) that he didn’t present the nhs recruitment plans to the house as it wasn’t their plans, but the NHS’s. Also the deputy saying “did you not hear what we are doing?” - if only they followed protocol and presented it to the house correctly for them to listen! Strong sense that they really believe they can do what they want with no consequences.
Mhairi Black could do a lot worse than to stand for leader of the SNP at the next opportunity. I'm sure she would win hands down which would be a great thing for Scotland she is fantastic. She will be missed in the Westminster meatgrinder as she stands out as one of the few who actually earn their pay. I'm fairly sure the Tories wont be sad to see her go after all she does a great job of holding them to account and speaking truth to corrupt power.
@@abitmorerational It has embraced social democracy though in a rejection of neoliberalism that places it to the left of Labour, admittedly not difficult. There are many of its policies that democratic socialists in Labour could happily subscribe to.
As we've seen with so many other funding adventures, it's not what they put in, it's where it ends up.....I will miss Mhairi Black as she is that rarity in the House - honest and concentrated on trying to do right by the people who voted her in, despite systemic barricades to that notion. Much love and respect to her.
MPs John Redwood and Oliver Letwyn in 1987 wrote a paper on how to change our NHS into an American style insurance system. Were at the end of this process and the NHS sadly has been eviscerated……. Shame on them all…….. including this guy……
Many employers are now offering private healthcare benefits as part of their package to employees. Slowly, but surely we are travelling down the US road where healthcare will be tied to your job unless we fight tooth and nail to retain and protect our NHS. I wish Mhairi all the best for the future.
@@lisaglaze250 Indeed. But even these healthcare 'packages' would be very limited in what they would cover and there would be additional expenses which would have to be self-funded. The medications and services would also rocket in price as profit becomes the main impetus. I hope we don't go down that route. Time will tell.
In a lot of US health insurance “cover” the treatment they fund is limited. For example, either chemo or radiotherapy. Nine years ago I was recovering from a second operation to remove lymph nodes after it was discovered that breast cancer had spread to over half the nodes under my armpit. I then went on to have 6 rounds of chemotherapy followed by 35 days of radiotherapy and then endocrine therapy for 3 years. All on the NHS. Long and the short of it, I was finally discharged from Oncology last week. The cancer has not returned. I strongly believe that the amazing care I received from our brilliant NHS saved my life. I am not alone.
@@annabelcleare138 I'm so glad you managed to recover and hope that you have a healthy, cancer-free future. You're so right about the US health insurance packages too. I often get the impression that they also overcharge considerably for the services, equipment and medication that they do offer their policy holders as well. Could be wrong but I suspect not. All the best to you.
@@abitmorerational Oh, I do, just not ones I don't think you would ever agree with so it would be pointless going any further with you. Have a nice day

Absolutely fantastic! Good on yer Mhairi
Mhairi Black tells it like it is!! Respect!
What a cracking answer to a smarmy Tory Toff !!!
If only MB had a "mike" to drop and just sit back down after that epic slam
This is what the establishment does, they drive out anyone that’s a threat to their position.
She’s also leaving because of the hate she receives on a daily basis from the mass public
Excellent points from the SNP about the NHS and Brexit alongside the laughs.
Nice one Mhairi 👍 you will be missed 👏
Brilliant
She will be sorely to missed
Well done Mhaira.
Dont leave. Ive really enjoyed your contribution. If you do leave good luck in all you do. Well done.👍
I remember when PMQs used to be productive and beneficial to the country.
Oof you're going back some time there
When was this??
@@PP237PP🤣 my thought exactly!!
Do you?
@@barryhomeowner9293 yerp yerp yerp yerp yerrrrrp. I won’t let you dooowwwwwwwn.
Mhairi utterly owned him.
Fab speaker, not with her party but will miss her.
Another Englishman that feels Mhairi spoke for me more than almost any other MP in years. We need more of her, not less.
Funny how the pm said yesterday (?) that he didn’t present the nhs recruitment plans to the house as it wasn’t their plans, but the NHS’s.
Also the deputy saying “did you not hear what we are doing?” - if only they followed protocol and presented it to the house correctly for them to listen!
Strong sense that they really believe they can do what they want with no consequences.
🎉she's right there🤞
As a nurse once again the tory party tearing apart our NHS
Mhairi Black could do a lot worse than to stand for leader of the SNP at the next opportunity. I'm sure she would win hands down which would be a great thing for Scotland she is fantastic. She will be missed in the Westminster meatgrinder as she stands out as one of the few who actually earn their pay. I'm fairly sure the Tories wont be sad to see her go after all she does a great job of holding them to account and speaking truth to corrupt power.
My one hope is that this is her plan, to stand as an msp and then be our fm. Now that wld have me hope.
@@abitmorerational It has embraced social democracy though in a rejection of neoliberalism that places it to the left of Labour, admittedly not difficult. There are many of its policies that democratic socialists in Labour could happily subscribe to.
"we'll be leaving at the same time!" 😂😂😂💥
As we've seen with so many other funding adventures, it's not what they put in, it's where it ends up.....I will miss Mhairi Black as she is that rarity in the House - honest and concentrated on trying to do right by the people who voted her in, despite systemic barricades to that notion. Much love and respect to her.
I understand why she is getting out of this toxic work environment but by damn, I'll miss her.
gotta love Mary, she has bigger balls than anyone in the chamber, hope she comes back...
Very saddened to hear that she is leaving. What a loss.
MPs John Redwood and Oliver Letwyn in 1987 wrote a paper on how to change our NHS into an American style insurance system. Were at the end of this process and the NHS sadly has been eviscerated…….
Shame on them all…….. including this guy……
Many employers are now offering private healthcare benefits as part of their package to employees. Slowly, but surely we are travelling down the US road where healthcare will be tied to your job unless we fight tooth and nail to retain and protect our NHS. I wish Mhairi all the best for the future.
God help those of us who are sick and no longer work
@@lisaglaze250 Indeed. But even these healthcare 'packages' would be very limited in what they would cover and there would be additional expenses which would have to be self-funded. The medications and services would also rocket in price as profit becomes the main impetus. I hope we don't go down that route. Time will tell.
In a lot of US health insurance “cover” the treatment they fund is limited. For example, either chemo or radiotherapy.
Nine years ago I was recovering from a second operation to remove lymph nodes after it was discovered that breast cancer had spread to over half the nodes under my armpit. I then went on to have 6 rounds of chemotherapy followed by 35 days of radiotherapy and then endocrine therapy for 3 years. All on the NHS.
Long and the short of it, I was finally discharged from Oncology last week. The cancer has not returned.
I strongly believe that the amazing care I received from our brilliant NHS saved my life. I am not alone.
@@annabelcleare138 I'm so glad you managed to recover and hope that you have a healthy, cancer-free future. You're so right about the US health insurance packages too. I often get the impression that they also overcharge considerably for the services, equipment and medication that they do offer their policy holders as well. Could be wrong but I suspect not. All the best to you.
@@musicloverlondon6070 thank you 🙂
She will be missed
@@abitmorerational You want her to split the left leaning votes, cool, sounds like a great plan.
@@abitmorerational Sure dude, sure, have a great day.
@@abitmorerational Oh, I do, just not ones I don't think you would ever agree with so it would be pointless going any further with you.
Have a nice day
She’s an absolute legend
So sorry to hear she’s stepping down she a real asset to politics
Kicked out at the election.
Brilliant.
Mhairi will be sorely missed. She is a voice of honesty and integrity in swamp of doublespeak, deceit and outright lies.
its a crying shame she is leaving. For me she has one of the finest intellects in the commons. He is just a total idiot and just doesn't realise she is running rings around him.
Laughed so much
