" I will never regret my actions in Standing Up for a victim of abuse at The Hands of an SNP MP Last Year , but I have no faith remaining in a party whose leadership supported the perpetrator's interests over that of The Victims and who have shown little to no interest in acknowledging or addressing the impact.
