It comes as she has announced that she will step down at the next election.

Bylines Scotland tweeted: “So sad that Mhairi Black has announced she will step down at the next election due to Westminster being a “toxic workplace” and “definitely poisonous place” Must watch @maitlis interview with @MhairiBlack Mhairi will be sorely missed.”
