I’m exhausted by nationalism, says MP who defected from SNP to Tories

Dr Lisa Cameron said she no longer believes in independence.

Dr Lisa Cameron, who quit the SNP for the Tories, has said she and Scotland are “exhausted by nationalism”.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour on Thursday, Dr Cameron was asked if she still believed in separation from the UK.“No I don’t,” she said. She added: “To be honest with you, I feel absolutely exhausted by nationalism. Dr Cameron made her first appearance in the Commons as she crossed the floor ahead of Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday, flanked by the former prime minister, Theresa May, and Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross.

“Some people within the SNP had said at the time that I shouldn’t be able to be selected because of those issues as an MP last time. Addressing the claims by Ms Thewliss, the new Tory MP said: “I think that’s a disgraceful thing to say, to be quite honest.”
