Tracy Carragher, SNP leader on North Lanarkshire Council, faces resignation calls over her handling of sexual assault claims against ex-leader Jordan Linden. A motion demands her and colleague Fiona Fotheringhams immediate resignation. Carragher is also an SNP candidate in the upcoming Holyrood election. Linden, convicted of assaulting young men, led the council from 2022, with Carragher as deputy when reports of his past misconduct emerged. Critics accuse the SNP of downplaying the scandal, with victims and critics demanding accountability. The council, under Labour control, will vote on cutting ties with the Scottish Youth Parliament, where Linden once chaired. Swinney announced an independent review of SNP complaints, following earlier ignored pleas. The SNP stresses revamped procedures and welcomes Lindens conviction, praising victims bravery.
