'BABY OF THE HOUSE' Who is FEMALE1 Black and what’s her voting record? FEMALE1 Black, the youngest female MP ever, has established a reputation as a passionate and emotional member of parliament. But who is Mrs Black, and why did she drop the "C-bomb" in Parliament? FEMALE1 was born in September 1994. She was sworn in just weeks after marrying successful entrepreneur MALE1 Black. In her maiden speech after being appointed to the Work and Pensions Select Committee, she slammed off the government's approach to unemployment. In an impassioned speech, FEMALE1 became the first MP to use the C-word in Parliament while rebelling against the party vote on revoking government spending for training schemes. Otherwise she votes the same way as her party on the "vast majority" of issues. |
Mrs Black said she could stand down at the next election as she “hates” being in parliament and finds it
“depressing”. Asked directly if she will stand for re-election, she said: “I don’t know. I think you should only stand in politics if you know you will be able to get anything done.” Promoted story: New research on benefits of sport |
