NEWS STORY : Angus MacNeil Confirms he has been Expelled from the SNP
STORY
Angus MacNeil, the MP for Na h-Eileanan an Iar (Western Isles), has confirmed on Twitter that he has been expelled from the SNP following a disagreement with the party’s chief whip Brendan O’Hara.
MacNeil said in a statement:
“The Summer of Member Expulsion, has indeed come to pass. As I have been expelled as a rank & file SNP member by a ‘member conduct committee.’ I didn’t leave the SNP – the SNP have left me. I wish they were as bothered about Scottish independence as they are about me!”
MacNeil had been the SNP MP for the constituency since 2005 and in 2019 he secured a majority of 2,438 over the Labour Party.
