Mhairi Black was told not to say 10 Downing St was ‘pished’ in the Commons and her response was A+++

You surely won’t see a more satisfying exchange in the Commons than this, the moment the SNP’s Mhairi Black was upbraided for suggesting Boris Johnson’s former government got ‘pished’ in Downing Street.
It was already good, but her response made it even better.

Mhairi Black was just told off for saying ministers were 'pished' while partying during the pandemic.

As far as we can see, she is the first MP to be told off for using this Scots swear word during a Commons debate. pic.twitter.com/o9XcugjXzZ

Well I mean she isn't wrong. I find it extraordinary that parliament is more offended by her language than they were by MPs being pissed and partying whilst the rest of us were locked down.

Love Mhairi Black. She is one of the few Politicians I truly respect. A total legend, along with Jenny Jones of the Green Party.

Hogwarts latest. Inebriation fine. Pished unacceptable. https://t.co/sXoYsfhZfb

It's an English woman telling her off — someone who doesn't realise the genial acceptability of the word pished because she's never thought about an opinion formed outside Kent.

Go Mhairi Black👏

Pulled up by the deputy speaker for saying people in No 10 spent Covid 'pished', she changed to, "intoxicated, inebriated, paralytic."

She could have gone on: smashed, trollied, wankered, bolloxed, Nadined, Shitgibboned, absolutely fvcking mashed.

“Pished” …. I imagine it needed translation before the might of the scottish tongue was fully appreciated https://t.co/Y9xr7fp8FP
