Disgraced MP Margaret Ferrier has lost an appeal to have her suspension from the Commons overturned for breaking covid rules.
The decision means a pivotal by-election in Rutherglen and Hamilton West has moved a step closer.
In a damning report, a panel concluded: "She acted with blatant and deliberate dishonest intent. She acted with a high degree of recklessness to the public and to colleagues and staff at the House of Commons. She acted selfishly, putting her own interests above the public interest."
