Reminders of the moment Mhairi Black accused the Conservative government of ‘sleepwalking towards fascism’ in 2022 have been posted on social media following outbreaks of violence in the UK.

“Over the last 12 years, I fear we have been sleepwalking closer and closer to the F word,” she said.
“When I say the F word, I am talking about fascism – fascism wrapped in red, white and blue.”
