Cleared MP Michelle Thomson still waiting for apology from Nicola Sturgeon

A former SNP MP has revealed she is still waiting for an apology from Nicola Sturgeon after being cleared of any wrongdoing in a mortgage fraud police probe.

Two months ago Michelle Thomson – who resigned the SNP whip when police began the fraud investigation and was then suspended from the party – said she wanted an apology for the way she was treated by her party at the time.

The First Minister responded: “Michelle is now, happily, in the position where she can put this behind her.

“She has been cleared of any wrongdoing and I am sure she is very relieved about that so we can now look forward and have a discussion directly with her.”

However, the former Edinburgh West MP last night said: “I have not, as yet, heard from Nicola Sturgeon”.

An SNP spokesman said national secretary, Patrick Grady had been in touch with Ms Thomson to open discussions about her readmission to the party.

Ms Thomson was engulfed in a controversy surrounding a solicitor used by her defunct property firm who was found guilty of professional misconduct.

The ex-banker found out in July she would not face charges after the investigation was dropped due to lack of credible evidence.

The former Edinburgh West MP said August she was hopeful “the SNP will do the right thing” and she would appreciate a “personal discussion” with the First Minister.
