Flynn: Reaction to 2026 Holyrood bid 'not pleasant'

The SNP's Westminster leader Stephen Flynn said party infighting over his bid to stand at the 2026 Scottish Parliament election has been unedifying.

Flynn currently represents the constituency of Aberdeen South in the House of Commons.

But last week the MP announced he intends to stand for the Aberdeen South and North Kincardine seat at Holyrood, currently held by the SNP's Audrey Nicoll.

Flynn confirmed he would aim to hold his Westminster seat until the next general election, due in 2029, but would not accept two salaries.
