Ian Murray – 2020 Comments on Margaret Ferrier’s Statement

The comments made by Ian Murray, the Shadow Secretary of State for Scotland, on 1 October 2020.

This is astonishing recklessness from an SNP MP, which has put people’s health at risk.

Through her irresponsible actions, she very possibly has passed on the virus to a vulnerable person, who may now have COVID-19 and be in danger. She has put passengers, rail staff, fellow MPs, Commons staff and many others at unacceptable risk.

To breach the rules twice is simply unforgivable, and has undermined all the sacrifices made by her constituents.

Nicola Sturgeon must come out and condemn her MP’s actions and tell the Scottish people what disciplinary action she will be taking. There cannot be one rule for Margaret Ferrier, another for everybody else.
