This is the best summary I could come up with:


The furious SNP leader Humza Yousaf accused Ms Cameron of “betrayal” for switching to the Tories – demanding that the MP “do the honourable thing” and resign her seat.

Coming just days before the SNP conference, Mr Yousaf said: “To see somebody who claims to have supported Scottish independence cross the floor to the Conservative and Unionist Party betrays the fact that she probably never believed in the cause in the first place.”

Ms Cameron blamed her SNP colleagues in parliament for the “deterioration” of her mental health and being put on antidepressants – revealing that she had received support from Rishi Sunak.

Ms Cameron said she would “never regret my actions in standing up for a victim of abuse at the hands of an SNP MP last year” – but had lost faith in the party’s leadership.

The host of the Holyrood Sources podcast said it meant SNP get to engage their base by complaining about the Tories without the need for the “bruising” by-election Ms Cameron had threatened.

Ms Cameron praised Mr Sunak and said she was “particularly grateful” to him for reaching out to her after receiving “no contact from party leadership in the past weeks” despite her mental health struggles.
