Rutherglen and Hamilton West MP Margaret Ferrier said ‘her record speaks for itself’ as she urged constituents not to sign the recall petition for her constituency.
In a statement on her website, the former SNP politician claimed that many local people had informed her they do not want a by-election, which comes after news broke that she was suspended from Parliament for 30 days for breaking Covid regulations in 2020.
Beginning this morning, signing stations will be available throughout the area for six weeks, and if 10 per cent of voters choose to sign it then a by-election will be triggered.
