Mhairi Black
The Reformer
Changing the system from inside it, principle turned into change.
Mhairi Black is a Member of Parliament known for her candid views on independence and inequality. This interview reveals her commitment to principled change within the SNP and her belief in the importance of addressing systemic issues in politics.
“Not if she was in charge, I wouldn't be, you know? Yeah. Oh no, totally, I think again it's a part of that. People keeping things to themselves or holding back a lot because it seems the most beneficial thing to do.”
“And write it through. I mean, part of this is just me talking about my experience when all that the scandal was coming out and everything. What really appalled me was the number of people who suddenly felt able to talk more freely about their experiences with Alec.”
“The impression I get is well, first off, I don't think Keir Starmer's left wing, that's the first thing. I think he's a very pragmatic and practical to a fault to the point where I think to an extent he's similar to Salmon in that he'll say what he has to say in order to get where he needs to go. So his beliefs will change radically.”
“On policy and maybe less so policy and more on how they're actually delivering that policy and the practicalities of it. I think that's where we've been tripped up quite a few times.”
