SNP MP Mhairi Black to step down at next election after branding Westminster 'toxic' workplace

SNP MP Mhairi Black will not be standing in the next general election and branded the environment at Westminster "unhealthy'.

She announced the decision in an interview with broadcaster Emily Maitlis after spending almost a third of her life in government. She was just 20-years-old when she first won her Paisley and Renfrewshire South seat, before working her way up and becoming the SNP's deputy leader in the House of Commons, in December last year.

In a tell-all interview with The News Agents, Ms Black claimed the "toxic" environment at Westminster was part of why she won't be standing in the next election.
