Graham Leadbitter, the Scottish National Party (SNP) MP for Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey, is facing pressure to clarify whether he continues to employ Sally Donald, an activist who recently resigned as the SNP candidate for Edinburgh Southern amid a benefit fraud investigation. Donald, who allegedly owes over £19,000 to Social Security Scotland, has denied any wrongdoing. Despite multiple requests for confirmation, Leadbitter has remained silent on her employment status, leading to calls for transparency from Scottish Conservative social security spokesman Alexander Stewart. Stewart criticized the SNP for potentially using taxpayer money to fund Donald's position, which he argues is inappropriate given her recent resignation. At a Glasgow event, Scottish Conservative leader Russell Findlay echoed these sentiments, criticizing the SNP's handling of social security spending and advocating for a more responsible benefits system. He claimed that the SNP's current approach has allowed individuals like Donald to exploit the system while burdening taxpayers with high taxes.
