SNP deputy Westminster leader Mhairi Black provoked laughter in the Commons after joking the Deputy Prime Minister would lose his seat at the next general election.
Responding to Oliver Dowden’s comments during Prime Minister’s Questions on her announcement she would be stepping down, Ms Black said: “The Deputy Prime Minister, I thank him for his kind words and we did join this place at the same time and I’m pretty sure we’ll be leaving at the same time.”
