Joanna Cherry claims treatment of former SNP MP Margaret Ferrier by party colleagues is 'shameful'

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.
