But SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn said Lisa Cameron’s claims ‘don’t reflect my experience’.
SNP MP Lisa Cameron has accused the party at Westminster of having a ‘group bullying mentality’
Dr Cameron, the MP for East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow, spoke out in the midst of a selection contest as the SNP chooses its candidate to fight the seat at the next general election. Dr Cameron told the paper: “For months people wouldn’t speak to me, some people when I would go into a room would just behave as though I was not there.
She claimed the party leadership at the time “basically issued a directive to support the perpetrator” but she wanted the party to take a “victim-led approach”.Dr Cameron added she had told the SNP whips at Westminster she was undergoing counselling following her experience, saying she had “about 12 months of counselling records that go along with this”.
He added: “It will rightly be up to local branches to make a decision and local members to make a decision who they want to represent them in the upcoming general election.”
