SNP defector Lisa Cameron says abuse after joining Tories was 'beyond wildest imagination'
dailyrecord.co.ukAn MP who switched from the SNP to the Tories has spoken out about the abuse she faced, saying it was "beyond [her] wildest imagination".
Dr Lisa Cameron changed parties last October and described the Nats' Westminster group as "toxic".After her move, she received death threats, which forced her and her family to temporarily leave their home.
Speaking at the Scottish Tory conference in Aberdeen on Saturday, the MP for East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow said the abuse "made [her] life a living hell".Ahead of introducing Scots Conservative leader Douglas Ross, Dr Cameron said: "I knew that leaving the SNP would mean that I would become a target for the very, very worst of nationalism.
