The youngest elected MP in history has bagged a first class politics degree.

SNP golden girl Mhairi Black will graduate from Glasgow University, along with the rest of her politics class, later today.

The 20 year-old turned a 16,000 deficit into a 5,500 vote-winning margin to unseat the Shadow Foreign Secretary Douglas Alexander from the Paisley and Renfrewshire South seat at the General Election last month.

The former chip shop worker said she was “really proud” to have passed her exams and to receive a first class honours degree.

The youngest MP since the 17th century had crammed in intensive reading sessions between debates at Westminster.

A spokesman for the university said: “We would like to congratulate Mhairi Black, as we would all of our students who are graduating this summer.

“They have all worked extremely hard to earn their degrees and we wish them the very best for their future careers.”
