FOLLOWING the news that Ian Blackford will step down as the SNP’s leader in Westminster, Alison Thewliss has announced she will stand for the position.
In a statement released on Saturday evening, Thewliss said she would represent a “clear contrast” from “two men shouting at each [other] across the dispatch box”.
She is the first MP to officially announce she is in the running, despite many tipping Stephen Flynn as Blackford’s successor.
