‘We started at the same time and I’m pretty sure we will be leaving at the same time too’: Mhairi Black to Oliver Dowden

During Prime Minister’s Questions, Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden went head-to-head with Deputy Leader of the SNP in Westminster, Mhairi Black.

Black announced that she would be standing down at the next election, which Dowden lamented, noting that they both arrived in Westminster at the same time.

But Black didn’t take his kind words lightly, and instead retorted with a comeback that made the whole House laugh.

‘We did arrive here at the same time, and I’m pretty sure we will be leaving at the same time too!’, she said.
