Mhairi Black to step down at next general election, blaming ‘toxic’ Commons
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/jul/04/mhairi-black-snp-mp-to-step-down-next-general-election
— Well yes ... but the next Scottish election is less than a year after the final date for the next UK GE, so she'd be free to enter Holyrood for the SNP, and is probably an obvious pick for the SNP front bench or cabinet.
... And the buried lede: "Nicola Sturgeon said she hoped Black would stand for a seat at Holyrood in the future."
So, First Minister probably some time around 2030-2035?
