SNP by-election candidate insists focus is on campaigning after Grady comments
The SNP’s candidate in a crucial by-election has insisted her main focus is on campaigning after she appeared to welcome an MP who was accused of sexual harassment to canvass for her.
She said: “The vast majority of our days at the moment are spent out chapping doors and speaking to the people of Rutherglen and Hamilton West and that’s the priority. “The party has taken action, the Westminster committee has taken action. If Patrick comes along here to campaign as an activist then he would be doing so in that capacity.”
Asked whether a second launch event was a sign that the party was worried about the outcome, Ms Loudon told PA: “Absolutely not, we’ve got a date now and it feels like we have been campaigning for months and that’s because we have.“It’s an absolute honour to have all of this help and all of this support to go out and do this as much as possible.”
