Nicola Sturgeon aware of 'a concern' about MP Patrick Grady

Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed she was aware of "a concern" about SNP MP Patrick Grady before a harassment complaint was made against him.

The first minister and SNP leader said she was previously aware of "a concern, but not a formal complaint".at Westminster while the party investigates allegations about his behaviour dating back to 2016.An investigation was launched by the SNP earlier in March after a party staff member claimed that Mr Grady inappropriately touched him in a London pub in 2016.

This saw the Glasgow North MP step aside from his post as chief whip - a role he has held since 2017, which involves making sure a party's MPs vote with the leadership. Asked about when she learned of concerns about Mr Grady's behaviour, Ms Sturgeon said: "I would have had an awareness previously of a concern, but not a formal complaint.

"I'm not going to say more than that because due process requires that an investigation is allowed to take its course."

Its so funny how they keep finding pics that make sturgeon look as ridiculous as she actually is.

Oh look there's a flying pig I told u we would get Independence over the line

No danger there! Some recollections may vary.

Are they pointing at the concern?

She was told of a Complaint , not a Concern , two completely different things. She should have acted on the complaint , not ignored it or turned it into a lesser concern which suited her agenda.

Our Nicola wasn’t aware or couldn’t recollect many things in the past, as proven in the inquiry, time for a change?

Oh is her “memory” coming back? Surely not. What does she want to distract us from now? Crap schools, crap hospitals, crap laws... the list is endless.

Non news as usual

Some days her memory is better than others..
