Lanarkshire politicians call for Margaret Ferrier to resign after shamed MP pleads guilty to 'inexcusable actions'

Shamed MP Margaret Ferrier's breach of Covid rules have been deemed "inexcusable" as local politicians speak out following her guilty plea this week.

On Thursday, The Rutherglen and Hamilton West representative admitted putting people's lives at risk by travelling to Westminster by train despite knowing she was displaying coronavirus symptoms in 2020.

Ms Ferrier should have self-isolated while waiting for test results, but instead travelled to London, spoke in Parliament and dined with another MP before learning she had tested positive. She then travelled back to her Cambuslang home.
