Julie McAnulty is the SNP Councillor for Coatbridge North and Glenboig ward in North Lanarkshire.[1]
During a bitter internal selection battle for the SNP candidacy for the Coatbridge and Chryston constituency, McAnulty was suspended from the party after allegations were published in a downmarket tabloid newspaper that she had made racist remarks.[2]
An internal investigation was launched[3] and private investigator Stewart Dredge was sent by National Secretary Patrick Grady to carry out this investigation.[4]
While this investigation was ongoing, McAnulty was reported to have spent seven hours speaking to the Police Counter Corruption Unit at Fettes in Edinburgh.[5]
McAnulty's suspension was followed by the suspension of the entire local branch, who responded by holding a protest at the 2016 Conference in Glasgow.[6]
As of this date, McAnulty remains suspended.
