Edinburgh Council Leader Suspended Over Harassment Allegations

Cammy Day faces suspension and calls to resign following claims of inappropriate messages to Ukrainian refugees.

Cammy Day, leader of Edinburgh City Council, has been suspended by Scottish Labour after allegations of sending sexually explicit messages to Ukrainian refugees surfaced.
Two refugees reported receiving unsolicited messages from Day on social media and dating apps, including sexually suggestive comments and invitations to meet for wine.
The refugees stated they felt pressured to respond due to Day's influential position in the council, with one describing the situation as involving a concerning power dynamic.
Police Scotland has launched an investigation into the allegations, interviewing senior council officials and others connected to the case over the past several weeks.
Leaders of opposition parties in the council, including the SNP, Liberal Democrats, and Conservatives, have publicly called for Day to resign immediately from his role as council leader.
