Former SNP MP embezzled £25,000 from Yes groups

A former SNP MP has pled guilty to embezzling more than £25,600 from pro-independence organisations - including money intended for a foodbank.

Natalie McGarry, 37, admitted two charges of embezzlement when she appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

She had not guilty pleas accepted to another embezzlement charge, and a charge that she refused to give police the passcode for a mobile phone.

The case has been adjourned until 1 May.

Some of the money was for a foodbank, scummy behaviour, I hope she gets the book thrown at her

Always knew she was a wrongun after she got engaged to a Tory Councillor

It doesn’t matter what the money is for. Strange comment to make but not unsurprising.

There's actually 4 Labour/Tory coaltion ran councils in Scotland (North Lanarkshire/Dumfires & Galloway/Fife/South Ayrshire as Labour generally won't do a coalition with the SNP

2017 Scottish local elections - Wikipedia

SLAB suspended their Aberdeen councillors because they didn't want them in coaltion but the councillors did

SLAB - that's to do with legal aid?

How can they suspend councillors?

EDIT: SLAB = Scottish Labour Party
