MARGARET Ferrier is set to take on Boris Johnson at tomorrow’s Prime Minister’s Questions. 

It’s only the second Commons appearance from the Rutherglen and Hamilton West MP since she admitted breaching strict Covid travel rules.

The SNP withdrew the whip from Ferrier after it emerged that she had travelled to London and back after developing coronavirus symptoms.

Her journey to Parliament happened after she’d developed symptoms and the return leg occurred after a positive diagnosis had been passed along.

Nicola Sturgeon called the behaviour “utterly indefensible” and has urged her to quit as an MP.

However, Ferrier says she wants to stay in the job. She told the Sun on Sunday she’d “panicked” on getting the test result and felt she’d no option but to go home, given that she has no flat in London.

She told the paper: “It may be a serious error of judgment. I’m not denying that. People may be saying, ‘you should have known better, you’re a public figure’.

“But at the end of the day it still hurts. You then think, ‘is all that hard work and dedication just wiped away?’”

The MP, who failed to self-isolate, is number 13 on the order paper for tomorrow’s session.

Ironically, Johnson will be answering questions from No 10 as he is currently self-isolating after attending a mask-free gathering with Ashfield MP Lee Anderson.

Anderson later tested positive for coronavirus, and a further eight MPs who were either at the meeting or crossed his path in Parliament have now been forced to quarantine. 

Ferrier appeared in the Commons last week during an urgent question on Hong Kong.

The Metropolitan police announced last month that the MP will face no further action, stating the regulations on self-isolation came into force after she was tested.
