Journalist caught in SNP love triangle admits she is a ‘nut magnet’

When the SNP 56 were elected to Parliament, they were heralded as a breath of fresh air in an otherwise archaic institution. The nationalists made clear that they were unhappy to be moved to Westminster, let alone indulge in its pleasures. Despite this, they appear to have grown accustomed to their surroundings over time, with reports surfacing of their taste for Parliament’s many taxpayer-subsidised bars. Now it appears that other Westminster indulgences are also proving too hard to resist.

The Daily Mail reports that Angus MacNeil and Stewart Hosie have both separated from their wives after enjoying the company of the same woman. The paper reports that both men enjoyed relationships — at different times — with Serena Cowdy, a freelance journalist for Parliament’s House magazine. Cowdy, an Oxford-educated actress-turned-journalist, is from London and alongside her political endeavours has penned blogs on the topics of office affairs and dumping etiquette.
