Margaret Ferrier has been turfed out of the Commons - the race is now on to replace herA by-election is to be held in Rutherglen and Hamilton West after nearly 12,000 constituents signed a petition to remove MP Margaret Ferrier from office.
Like many other seats in the west of Scotland's central belt, it had been a Labour stronghold until those red seats were washed away by an SNP-yellow tidal wave following the 2014 independence referendum. She would go on to plead guilty to "culpable and reckless conduct" and be given a community sentence, as well as a suspension from the House of Commons. And that suspension triggered the recall petition which has now been her ousted from her seat.
