The move will almost certainly lead to a by-election in Margaret Ferrier's constituency.

MPs have voted to suspend Margaret Ferrier from the Commons for 30 days for breaching Covid lockdown rules.

Ferrier won the seat for the SNP with a majority of 5,230 in the 2019 election but has been sitting as an independent since losing the party whip. Ferrier has already been ordered to complete a 270-hour community payback order by a court after admitting culpably and recklessly exposing the public "to the risk of infection, illness and death".
