An ex-SNP councillor says she she was forced to quit the party over bullying.
Sophia Coyle accused party leadership of turning a blind eye to harassment and has demanded change. She has spoken out as crisis-hit North Lanarkshire Council deals with the fall out from the resignation of former leader Jordan Linden, 27, amid claims of predatory behaviour towards a teenager, the Sunday Mail reports.
Coyle's decision to resign from the party last month comes after the defection of her father Michael Coyle to Labour weeks earlier. She claims to have received no support from SNP bosses over complaints, and accused fellow councillor Paul Di Mascio of being part of a campaign against her.
