An SNP MP has said that the treatment of Margaret Ferrier by her former colleagues has been "shameful".
Edinburgh South West MP Cherry said that former SNP MP Ferrier "is a thoroughly decent woman who made a bad mistake" and that she was "one of the most loyal hard working activists in the SNP" beforehand.
Ferrier could face a by-election after the House of Commons standards committee recommended on Thursday that she receives a 30-day suspension for breaching Covid rules.
