Ex-SNP MP Margaret Ferrier faces a 30-DAY ban from the Commons
 

[A former SNP MP could lose her seat
after being handed a 30-day ban from
the Commons for travelling across Britain
when she knew she was ill with Covid.

Parliament's Committee on Standards
has recommended the punishment for
Margaret Ferrier over her incredible breach
of coronavirus rules.

The MP travelled in and around Glasgow
and to London in September 2020 after
taking a test, instead of isolating.]

Happy Days in 2019.

She now faces a recall petition which, if it attracts more than ten per cent of the
electorate, will force a by-election.

This could mean a Labour re-take and the first disaster for the First Minister

The very future of Keir Starmer’s leadership and future prospects will depend on
Rutherglen turning red.

Will the SNP now do the same in Rutherglen? It will have to wait until the Commons
ratifies the recommendation of the Standards Committee, but after that happens, the
party cannot risk being accused of not sharing local anger at Ferrier, especially since the
SNP have made much hay with the accusations against Boris Johnson for similar
breaches of Covid rules. The SNP needs to be at the forefront of efforts to encourage
voters to add their name to the recall petition.

yes, it could be an early test for the SNP

A bigger test for Labour, perhaps

apparently starmer has visited scotland every week since nicky resigned

It will depend on how much Rutherglen and Hamilton West voters like Humza Yousaf.

However this WILL be a big test more for Labour if a by-election becomes necessary.
As to what progress Labour may be or may not be making in Scotland.

It's a comparatively new seat over the years which Labour has lost to the SNP twice.
So both an interesting and strong test for Labour definitely north of the border.
