Update, 5.59pm: Natalie McGarry has now resigned the SNP whip over the campaign fund probe.
First there were 56. Then there were 55. Pretty soon it seems entirely possible there will be only 54. SNP MPs, that is.
Natalie McGarry, the 34 year old MP for Glasgow East, is the latest (that is, second) member of the SNP’s record-breaking 2015 intake to be in discussions with the police.
Ms McGarry was a leading member of Women for Independence, one of the plethora of independent campaigning organisations agitating for a Yes vote during last year’s referendum campaign.
Unfortunately, it seems as though a substantial amount of money, believed to be in the region of £30,000, has gone missing. Ms McGarry is reported to have been the sole person with access to the Paypal account used to collect contributions to WFI’s finances.
