Episode Details

Former SNP politician Jordan Linden has been jailed for 18 months and placed on the sex offenders register after being convicted of sexual assault, stalking, and coercive behaviour — with one victim saying he felt ignored by the party before turning to police in 2023. Meanwhile, councillor Tracy Carragher, previously suspended over alleged mishandling of Linden complaints, has been readmitted to the SNP following an independent review that found she didn’t cover up a complaint — her conversation in a leaked 2022 recording was about a press story, not official action. The SNP says they fully trust her despite the fallout, but former councillor Cameron McManus, who reported Linden, says the party isn’t owning up — and is now weighing his next move. This case underscores deep concerns about how political parties handle abuse allegations and their impact on victims.
