OM DENNE EPISODE
Parties gear up for a by-election as MP Margaret Ferrier loses her seat. The constituents for Rutherglen and Hamilton West have voted to remove Ferrier from office, where she has sat as an independent MP after being kicked out of the SNP in 2020 for breaching Covid travel rules. Following a 30 day suspension from the commons, the recall petition to remove her was signed by almost 15% of the eligible constituents, passing the 10% threshold which triggers a by-election. With party campaigning now beginning in earnest, both the SNP and Labour are eyeing up the seat, hoping this electoral test will prove their leaders' mettle ahead of the next general election.
