SNP official resigns from MP staffer role after 'threatening phone call' probe
Ayr MP Allan Dorans left his position ‘with immediate effect’ after allegations came to light several weeks ago.Ayrshire Live revealed exclusively that McPherson was under a probe by the SNP Westminster member after he made a phone call to Ayr painter Craig Hainey.The call followed the opening of Mr Hainey’s new shop ProPaints in Ayr’s North Harbour, to which he had invited Tory MSP Sharon Dowey.Mr Hainey claimed to have received a call from McPherson asking why Ayr MSP Siobhian Brown had not been asked along instead.Mr Hainey then claimed McPherson warned him: “I hope this doesn’t affect your business”.The SNP worker, then, admitted to making the call and said he was “trying to clear up confusion between list MSPs and MSPs”.
