THE UK’s youngest MP said it was “surreal” to be hailed as a person of the year by a popular music magazine alongside Taylor Swift.

Mhairi Black, the 21-year-old SNP MP for Paisley and Renfrewshire South, was selected for NME’s culture list because “politicians aren’t meant to look like” her.

The magazine praised the former chip shop worker for not being another “careerist who normally clog up the Commons”.
