Dear Margaret,
As coronavirus cases across Lanarkshire continue to rise and another lockdown looms, you selfishly cling on to your seat.
Despite receiving a Covid test and ignoring instructions to remain at home, you cling on.
Despite visiting a church and reading a lesson to a congregation which included elderly members, you cling on.
Despite travelling to London by train and speaking in the House of Commons, you cling on.
Despite receiving confirmation that your test was positive, dining out with colleagues oblivious to your illness and returning home from London by train, you cling on.
Despite knowing you had tested positive for three whole days before admitting it publicly, you cling on.
Despite calls for you to resign from First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, the SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford, your constituency colleague and friend MSP Clare Haughey and a plethora of other dissenting voices from across the political spectrum, you cling on.
Despite your embarrassing hypocrisy over Dominic Cummings, you cling on.
Despite a petition signed by thousands demanding you vacate your position, you cling on.
Despite a Reformer poll showing more than 95 per cent of participants say you should step down, you cling on.
And most damningly of all, despite calls for you to go from disgusted constituents who have lost loved ones to this deadly disease, you cling on.
Ian Blackford has asked you to do the “honourable thing”. The time for honour is rapidly running out.
Think no more about what you want, but instead of what others need.
Resign, before you become a social pariah and not just a political one.
