Almost entirely absent from the coverage today of the Rutherglen by-election is the cause of said election, and reason for much constituency dissatisfaction with the SNP: the public disgrace of former MP Margaret Ferrier.

If, as seems likely, there will be a by-election, I hope the voters in Rutherglen and Hamilton West will hold steady and return another SNP MP - not everyone is an idiot like Ferrier.
Also... why has Boris Johnson not been suspended from the Commons for breaking Covid rules? Just sayin'...

Margaret Ferrier should be suspended for 30 days for Covid breach, says MPs’ watchdog.
#MargaretFerrier's actions "have caused significant damage to the reputation and integrity of the House of Commons as a whole, and of its members generally”.
Yes, they have. But has anyone noticed the double standards in the room? They're approximately the total size and weight of #BorisJohnson and everyone else who attended parties at No 10 during lockdown.
