LEAKED DOCUMENT BOMBSHELL

AN SNP MP found to have sexually harassed a party staffer has been given a plum speaking role at Westminster.

A leaked document shows Patrick Grady has been pencilled in to take part in a set-piece debate on the Queen's Speech.

Scottish Lib Dem leader Alex Cole-Hamilton said: "The Queen's Speech is a solemn occasion in the parliamentary calendar.

"Far from removing the whip, the SNP are putting him front of house in one of the great occasions of state. It is shocking to see them double down on their support for him."

As revealed by the Record, an SNP staffer accused the Glasgow North MP of pestering him in London's Water Poet bar in 2016.
