Mhairi Black won millions of fans with her maiden speech in Parliament criticising George Osborne over his cuts to the welfare system. However, today she has offered the nation a glimpse of her softer side, professing her love for Titanic. In a somewhat bizarre interview with Jon Snow, Black plays My Heart Will Go On — the theme from the blockbuster film — on a piano which just happens to be in the interview room:
“I’ve always been obsessed with Titanic…it’s one of the few areas of my life there’s not politics”. The SNP’s Mhairi Black MP spoke to Jon Snow on the anniversary of the Scottish independence referendum.

Black says she is obsessed with the film ever since her auntie let her see it at a young age much to her mother’s protest. While she admits it is one of the few areas of her life where there is no politics, she did at least find time after the musical interlude to plug her independence message on the anniversary of the Scottish independence referendum. ‘I have no doubt it [Scottish independence] will be in my lifetime,’ she tells Channel 4. ‘Independence is inevitable.’ If it proves not to be the case, at least the young politician can consider a second career in music.
