'What am I going to do with my life?!' Mhairi Black on quitting the 'depressing' Commons at 29 - with no regrets

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : She says she is not standing again in part for personal reasons: "I want to have more calmness and also more structure to my life, rather than having it dictated by Westminster."
55% : I said: 'You know what the script is here, you're supposed to be the party of looking after workers' health and you're having a pop at me.'
54% : " When she was sworn in, aged 20, she was the youngest MP to be appointed since the Reform Act of 1832.
54% : "I've always been one foot out of Westminster, and I've never allowed it to become my life.
50% : I just felt so much better." Her own party is still reeling from rows over gender recognition and hate crime reforms - and the axing of the governing partnership with the Scottish Greens, which led to Humza Yousaf's dramatic resignation and the unexpected return of SNP veteran John Swinney to the leadership.
46% : "I'm about to be exactly where I was 10 years ago, asking: 'What am I going to do with my life?'" The Scottish National party's deputy leader at Westminster announced last summer that she intended to leave the Commons, a place she has variously described as "defunct", "depressing", "sexist", "poisonous" and "one of the most unhealthy workplaces that you could ever be in".
45% : And even cutting my hair.
