AN SNP MP threatened to take legal action against her local party amid a row over dirty tricks around the selection of candidates.
Branch officials in East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow were contacted by Dr Lisa Cameron's lawyers last week after an email was sent to members alerting them to an alleged potential misuse of personal data, it is understood.It is the latest development in an increasingly contentious selection process after Cameron threatened to force a by-election if party members did not back her to be the candidate at the next General Election.
They suggested this could break guidelines governing data use, but the"potential candidate" was not named. In East Kilbride and Strathaven, the committee backed Grant Costello, a local activist who works as the SNP’s Digital Media Manager.However, she did secure the 50 signatures needed before Thursday’s deadline.
First Minister Humza Yousaf and the SNP’s Westminster leader Stephen Flynn were asked about the claims during a campaign stop in Cambuslang.
