Lisa Cameron claimed she was shunned by other SNP MPs after challenging the support given to former chief whip Patrick Grady, who was suspended for acting inappropriately to a party staffer.
An SNP MP has told how she believes she was the victim of "group bullying" by her party colleagues at Westminster, claiming she suffered panic attacks as a result.
She indicated that if she is not chosen as the candidate, she could quit immediately and trigger a by-election. She said she will consider her position in the wake of the selection contest, due to be decided on October 12. "I'm not saying people should have to speak to someone if they don't wish to, but it felt very much like a group bullying mentality, almost like a sort of team bully."
Dr Cameron added she had told the SNP whips at Westminster she was undergoing counselling following her experience, saying she had "about 12 months of counselling records that go along with this".
