Stephen Flynn said party infighting over his bid to stand at Holyrood election has been unedifying.

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

Last week the MP announced he intends to stand for the Aberdeen South and North Kincardine seat.

Flynn said he would aim to hold his Westminster seat until the next general election, due in 2029 .

Scottish Health Secretary Neil Gray used ministerial car to attend football games.

Gray has been under fire after it emerged he had been chauffeured to six matches.

The Aberdeen fan apologised last week in a ministerial statement.

Flynn described the move as a "tough, but necessary, decision".
