Ian Blackford has denied claims that he was involved in bullying a member of SNP staff at Westminster as a “crude attempt at a political smear”.
The under-fire SNP Westminster leader robustly denied claims that he badly treated a SNP staffer amid alleged claims by a complainant that he was “manhandled” and bullied by the MP for Ross, Skye and Lochaber.
The complaint is being reportedly being probed by the Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS), the Westminster system which investigated the sex pest allegations against Patrick Grady.
