SNP MP Mhairi Black is stepping down at the next general election.
Ms Black, the party's deputy leader at Westminster, became the parliament's youngest MP since 1832 when she was elected aged 20 in 2015.
She is the sixth SNP MP to announce they will not contest the next election, which is expected to be held in 2024.

I’m sure it has absolutely nothing to do with polling that suggests many traditionally Labour seats in west/central Scotland which the SNP has held for the last 10 years or so, may return to the fold next time round.
Mind you, if it really is because of the toxic working atmosphere at Westminster, which is the reason she has cited herself, then she’s just another SNP hack who is clearly only happy with a toxic atmosphere when its caused by their campaigning. Other forms of toxicity are clearly unacceptable.
