SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn has defended his decision to seek a seat at Holyrood while continuing as an MP, but claimed it is “not a pleasant situation” for him or the MSP he is seeking to oust.
Mr Flynn set off a political firestorm inside his own party earlier this week when he announced he was seeking the candidacy in the Aberdeen South and North Kincardine seat – which overlaps with part of his Westminster constituency but is currently held by Audrey Nicoll.
