Ferrier loses Commons appeal over Covid rules breach

Constituents could sign a recall petition leading to a by-election in Rutherglen and Hamilton West

Voters in Rutherglen and Hamilton West could get the chance to force a by-election to replace their MP.

Margaret Ferrier broke Covid rules in 2020 and is facing a 30 day suspension from the House of Commons after losing her appeal.

That would give her constituents the chance for sign a recall petition leading to a by-election. Labour say she should do the right thing and resign.
