The Aberdeen South MP will be hoping to take over from Ian Blackford following the SNP's AGM on Tuesday
Stephen Flynn has launched a bid to become the SNP's next Westminster leader after Ian Blackford announced he was stepping down.
The news comes just two weeks after Flynn denied rumours he would be standing for the leadership position, following speculation in news articles he was "mounting a coup" against previous Westminster leader, Ian Blackford, who resigned last week. Like his parliamentary colleague, Alison Thewliss, who announced her bid to be Westminster leader on Saturday evening, Flynn hit out at Westminster culture.
"The Tories will keep shredding our relationship with Europe and the Labour Party will cheer them on."
