MPs have voted to suspend Margaret Ferrier from the Commons for 30 days over a major breach of Covid rules.&nbsp;

Ferrier, who was elected as an SNP MP and now sits as an independent, travelled from Scotland to the Commons and back by train while suffering from coronavirus in September 2020.

The vote to suspend her means a recall petition can be started in her Rutherglen and West Hamilton seat if she refuses to resign.
