FERGUS Ewing’s future hangs in the balance with the longstanding SNP MSP failing to commit to rejoining the Holyrood group after his suspension.
Speaking in Parliament on Thursday, he indicated he has not yet made up his mind as to whether he willIt's important to note he remains a member of the party itself – he’s just been suspended from the parliamentary group.He was brought up in the party, with his mother Winnie Ewing – who died earlier this year – one of the SNP’s biggest names for much of the 20th century.His suspension was approved by MSPs in a vote on Wednesday night, for which party leader Humza Yousaf was not present.
In the event of an appeal, a panel of three would be formed by people who are either SNP MPs or members of the party’s national executive committee. The national executive committee decides the make up of the panel. It seems like it could be unlikely for a man who has now developed a reputation as being a member of the awkward squad, but he could just take his punishment and quietly come back into the fold.
