Mhairi Black hits Deputy Prime Minister with cutting takedown

The SNP Deputy Westminster leader, Mhairi Black, took aim at the Deputy Prime Minster, Oliver Dowden at PMQs

Mr Dowden said he was sorry to hear Ms Black will be stepping down from parliamentary life at the next election, saying that the two of them 'joined this House at the same time'.

When it came to Ms Black's reply she cut him down, saying 'We did join this place at the same time, and am pretty sure we'll be leaving at the same time' to much jeering in the Commons

This Deputy PM just arrogant as hell. No shame at all. He can carry on and I am sure that will help to get more people hate conservative party.
