SNP MP Angus MacNeil has blasted the party's independence strategy as he announced that he will not sit as an SNP MP until October.
The Western Isles MP said the party was had no "urgency for independence" and said he would only rejoin if it provides “clarity on independence” at the SNP October conference.
MacNeil was given a seven-day suspension from the Westminster group last week after he accused the chief whip of bullying. He was due to rejoin the group today.
