An 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.
But the bile and the vile threats that I received were beyond even my wildest imagination."Rather than engaging in the substance of the issues, nationalist trolls resorted to bullying and I'm sure very many of you here today have experienced this too."Dr Cameron also criticised her former party's leaders, claiming they have "turned a blind eye" to abuse, or even "seemed complicit in it".
