Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle scolded the Tories for cheering too loudly as Lisa Cameron formally defected to the Conservatives
Lisa Cameron sat on the Tory benches in the House of Commons for the first time yesterday as she crossed the floor from the SNP.
Dr Cameron left the SNP last week just hours ahead of reselection for her East Kilbride constituency which was won by SNP staffer Grant Costello.Get all the news from your area – as well as features, entertainment, sport and the latest on Lanarkshire’s recovery from the coronavirus pandemic – straight to your fingertips, 24/7.
Since her defection, she claimed she has been forced to move her children out of her family home and was forced to close her constituency office after receiving “abuse and threats” including a death threat via email. However the East Kilbride MP has rejected calls for a by-election and, in an interview with the BBC earlier this week, explained she has changed her views on Scottish independence as she no longer feels the Scottish Government is being run competently.
“I look forward to working with her on the disability issues she has championed so passionately in parliament, and on the issues that really matter to her constituent’s in East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow."
