As Scottish Nationalists continue their ongoing feud, news reaches us of further infighting which is splitting the Coatbridge, Chryston and Bellshill branches of the SNP.
Sources claim that Council elections in 2017 instigated a split in the ranks, where three prominent candidates who were deep in Council Tax arrears, had their debt paid by Scottish Nationalist Party funds. Steven Bonnar, now an MP and no stranger to controversy and Lynn Anderson, a local government convener, had objected to SNP money being used to clear these debts.
It is worth pointing out that a candidate standing for election is not allowed to be in Council Tax arrears.
Since then, both Bonnar and Anderson have refused to pay monies to the SNP in protest - being allowed to remain members of the Party without remittance should concern all normal thinking people let alone SNP members.
One could be forgiven for thinking that Nicola Sturgeon acolyte Bonnar has been given free membership of the Party for his childish cross-fingered swearing in gesture at Westminster.
News of this latest unrest brings yet more shame on Bonnar, who is awaiting a court appearance on a Breach of the Peace charge for his part in a domestic dispute with a neighbour after the flaunting of a Celtic flag from the window of his home in Uddingston.
