A top Scottish lawyer has been fined after sending "foolish" tweets in that threatened a transgender councillor with gang violence.
Mike Dailly, of Govan Law Centre, was censured after sharing a series of menacing online posts understood to be about former Dundee SNP councillor Gregor Murray in June 2021. Dailly, who campaigns on issues such as women's rights, debt and homelessness, sparked a row with Murray after the politician criticised his stance on transgender issues.
The lawyer suggested in a tweet, said to be aimed at Murray, that he had gangland contacts in the area of Dundee, which the politician represented at the time.
