SNP MP Angus MacNeil said he “had no intention” of joining Alex Salmond’s Alba Party.
Mr MacNeil’s closest political ally, Inverclyde councillor Chris McEleny, made the jump when the party was launched last week and will now stand on the party’s West Scotland list.
Both Mr MacNeil and Mr McEleny have pushed for a “plan B” for Scottish independence from within the SNP, but to no avail.
With speculation rife about his possible departure from the party, Mr MacNeil told the National it was never a thought in his mind.
