The first minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, has described the actions of an MP who took a train from London to Scotland knowing she had tested positive for Covid-19 as “utterly indefensible”.
Margaret Ferrier, the SNP MP for Rutherglen and Hamilton West, apologised unreservedly for two major breaches of Covid regulations.
