Complainant refutes his defence

Come on, Cammy..there is no smear here. It's just smut

A MAN who complained about sexual harassment by former council leader Cammy Day has challenged the politician's claims of a conspiracy against him.

Day quit as head of Edinburgh's local authority in December and was suspended from Scottish Labour after the Sunday Mail revealed he had sent sexual messages to Ukrainian refugees.

The police were already investigating a complaint of inappropriate communication against him but announced earlier this month that "no criminality has been established".

The 50-year-old councillor said the whole affair had been a politically-motivated attempt to ruin his life, blaming the SNP in particular.

But one of Day's constituents, who complained to Scottish Labour two years before the latest revelations emerged, said he was "disgusted" by his claims.

He said: "It has been frustrating to read that he is claiming it is a political smear.

"I am not in elected politics, I try not to pay too much attention to politics for my own sanity if I'm honest. I've worked in financial services for 15 years and I happen to be his constituent.

"I complained to Scottish Labour in 2023, long before any of this was in the media.
