SNP - Stronger For Cover Ups (June 02, 2023)
Eight elected councillors in North Lanarkshire are so disillusioned with the SNP they've set up their own party - Progressive Change.
"The SNP rebels previously said they were punished for voicing concerns about Linden, with some of them reprimanded for allegedly 'bringing the party into disrepute'.
"When they announced their departure from the party this month, they alleged numerous grievances about the local leadership team, including a failure to investigate sexual misconduct and 'abuse of power'."
The rebels have called for an inquiry into the party's failure to deal properly with the sex pest allegations surrounding the former SNP council leader, Jordan Linden.
