Margaret Ferrier has been branded 'desperate' after the disgraced MP begged constituents not to sign a recall petition to remove her from office
Margaret Ferrier has been branded "desperate" after the disgraced MP begged constituents not to sign a recall petition to remove her from office.
The seat is viewed as a key Labour target and the party is actively encouraging voters to use one of the seven signing places across the constituency before July 31 deadline. She said yesterday: "I do not have any desire or need to play into party politics, which inevitably distracts from constituency issues and the needs of local residents.
Michael Shanks, the Labour candidate if a by-election is called, insisted voters in Rutherglen and Hamilton West were still angry at Ferrier's refusal to resign.
