Labour calls on Wishaw MP to clarify remarks after audio leaks about disgraced SNP politician

The Motherwell and Wishaw branch of the Labour Party has called on the constituency’s MP to clarify remarks she made during a leaked recording relating to disgraced MP Patrick Grady.

Westminster authorities last week ruled that Grady, the SNP MP for Glasgow North, had made unwanted sexual advances against a teenage member of staff by touching and stroking his victim’s hair, back and neck in a London pub in 2016. He was given a two-day suspension from the House of Commons.

During the leaked audio footage, Motherwell and Wishaw MP Marion Fellows stated to a meeting of SNP MPs at Westminster: “Patrick is not out of our thoughts and Patrick is getting support. Just because people don’t see it, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening."
