she's clearly not going to resign. how long before the SNP accept her excuse and quietly restore her to the party?

[douglas9401]

She will go but only after the recommended eye test so she can check the terms and conditions of her pension.

Going forward.

[iluvmargie]

She's just clutching at straws.

[Apc2604]

Heard this morning that she is upset that those she thought were good friends are not supporting her. I am not surprised they don't support her. And in no way can this can be compared to Dominic. She actually attended Mass at church whilst she had symptoms.

Dont know how politics work either here or north of the border ,so why can't they sack her and have a bi-election?

[allenlondon]

It’s true! Tora3 was nice to me earlier.

[iluvmargie]

It says in the report Bobbi that Sturgeon can't sack her, she can only advise that she resigns.

[Bobbisox1]

Arh right ILM, I should have read Mushrooms link :0(

This woman has no shame.

When Cummings’ didn’t break the law, she stood up in the House and condemned him; but when she breaks the law, she seems to think she should be given a pass.

Her hypocrisy is laughable.

[iluvmargie]

Now, now DD don't forget covid made her 'act out of character' lol.

[maggiebee]

As an SNP supporter I feel she should do the decent thing and resign. She is a friend of the First Minister who also thought she should resign. You simply can't castigate one person for breaking the rules then do the same yourself.

[AuntPollyGrey]

You can't sack someone who was voted into office, just strongly suggest they leave. She will be black-balled from now on, she should apologise and leave, with what little dignity she's still clutching onto.

[teacake44]

I did wonder whether I had coivd, I had a couple of weeks when I started to be nice. Not sure if this was out of character.

[Sunk]

She is doing a Cummings.
Dominic Cummings went sightseeing in Durham, gave a ludicrous excuse that he was testing his eyesight, and flatly refused to resign. She is doing the same.

Politicians of all parties have shown arrogance and elitism by thinking the law doesn’t apply to them. An example wants making of one of them.

[AuntPollyGrey]

What do you suggest? They can't be fired.

[Sunk]

A public flogging.
Social distancing for all spectators.

[fiveleaves]

I robbed a sub postoffice the other day, but it was a one off action.I was affected by the Covid crises

[Deskdiary]

You’re wrong Sunk.

Cummings didn’t break any rules: this woman has.

There’s a yawning chasm of a difference.

[drmorgans]

Covid doesn't seem to affect the sense of entitlement "the great and the good "have.

[jackthehat]

Dominic Cummings is not an elected member of (any) parliament.
Ferrier is embarrassing herself and her party by clinging on when she should do the decent, responsible thing and resign.

She's a Westminster MP so it's those rules which matter. In short, she cannot be sacked under these circumstances.
