AN SNP MP has become the first to publicly back Stephen Flynn replacing Ian Blackford as the leader of the party in Westminster, saying there is an "emerging consensus" on the issue.
Richard Thomson, the MP for Gordon, said he would be “astonished” if any of his colleagues tried to challenge Flynn for the job.
In a clear show of support for the Aberdeen South MP, Thomson told the BBC Flynn had the “talent and ability” to lead the group in Westminster.
