Shamed sex pest councillor Jordan Linden was shunned by his own colleagues when he turned up at a Christmas party. Several stunned councillors walked out of the SNP’s festive bash on December 15, when the former North Lanarkshire Council leader arrived.
The event, held at Merlin’s Bar in Motherwell, saw dozens of SNP North Lanarkshire councillors celebrate Christmas with a drinks bash and novelty hats after a meeting earlier in the day. But when Linden arrived, several are said to have left the festivities, angered by his presence.
One alleged victim of Linden, who met him while he was a member of the SYP and claims he was sexually harassed by the SNP councillor, said Linden was “completely shameless, carrying on as if he has done nothing”.
