A former councillor has been censured by a standards watchdog after using a background which stated ‘SNP CUTS HURT GLASGOW’ during an online meeting.
Martin McElroy, ex-Labour councillor for Springburn/Robroyston, displayed the caption over photos of overflowing bins and piles of rubbish while speaking at a Microsoft Teams meeting in the run-up to the Scottish Government elections last year.
Mr McElroy, who was standing as a candidate for Glasgow Provan, later posted an image of the background on his councillor Facebook page and wrote ‘WARNING! OFFENSIVE CONTENT!’.
