Accused of bullying and facing a huge political storm

Is this all from that GC tweet she agreed with?

If so it’s a terrible orchestrated pile on

Lawyers can be wrong (just look at self-ID lawyer SH), but the timing of these accusations is not coincidental.

No. It is complaints from 4 parliamentary staffers about her ,allegedly, bullying behaviour towards them.

Joanna is a lawyer so be surprised if she posted/did anything that could be deemed illegal

Solicitors and advocates are capable of getting things wrong too. This has nothing to do with the tweets however.

"Internal warfare has erupted within the SNP as a leading MP, facing allegations of bullying, accused others in her party of “lies” and “politically-motivated smears”.

Joanna Cherry, QC, the SNP MP for Edinburgh South West, said that allegations she had bullied a staff member were part of a “smear campaign” against her.

Her claims were backed by senior party sources who said the MP was being attacked for speaking out about misogyny on social media as well as her stance on proposed self-identification legislation for transgender people – with one source saying the campaign against her was “like the Crucible”."

What tweet was it?

Have you got any more details?

Joanna and Joan McAlpine have been amazing in standing up for women. Joanna is a lawyer so be surprised if she posted/did anything that could be deemed illegal. 😕
