Ex-Edinburgh council chief in Ukraine sponsor scheme despite quitting after refugee sex text claims

dailyrecord.co.uk:

THE former leader of Edinburgh City Council remains part of a government scheme for accommodating refugees despite quitting over allegations that he sexually harassed Ukrainians fleeing war.

Edinburgh councillor Cammy Day is registered under the UK Government’s Homes for Ukraine scheme which allows vulnerable refugees to be ­accommodated with hosts across the country.

The scheme has seen 18,700 Ukrainians put up in homes in Scotland with the host paid between £350 and £500 a month by the Government.

The funds, which are optional, come from the taxpayer and Day has ­refused to confirm if he has accepted the payment. The Sunday Mail can reveal that Day hosts a Ukrainian refugee in one of the four properties he owns in Edinburgh, despite quitting as council leader last month after we revealed he’d sent sexually explicit messages to Ukrainian refugees.
