Launching his campaign, surrounded by supporters, Mr MacNeil said: “It has been a great privilege to represent the people of Na h-Eileanan an Iar in Parliament and I hope to continue to do that after June 8th.
“The circumstances of this election are unique in that it follows a move of panic by the Prime Minister who knows she isn’t going to get a deal on trade with Europe. Therefore we need strong and experienced opposition to make the best Brexit and being without the Single Market. The SNP have been the only effective opposition to the Tories in this Parliament.

“I hope to see as many people as possible in this short campaign and that you will again allow me to use my experience by representing you in Westminster by voting for me and for the SNP on June 8th.”
