Dispatch

A marginal seat — won by just 149 votes (0.3%) in 2019.

Amy Callaghan has attracted negative coverage over her reported response to sexual misconduct allegations against former SNP MP Patrick Grady. According to reporting from March 2026, she encouraged SNP members to "rally" around Grady following findings that he had made an unwanted sexual advance on a party staffer -- a stance that has drawn criticism from those who argue it prioritised party solidarity over accountability to the victim. This is the most significant recent news directly naming her, and it sits alongside broader coverage characterising the SNP as slow to act on misconduct complaints.

Beyond this controversy, Callaghan's parliamentary record is effectively a blank sheet. Voting participation stands at 0% -- though this reflects zero recorded votes in the dataset rather than necessarily confirmed absences -- and no speech data is available. There are no rebel votes, no committee roles, and no identifiable pattern of policy focus or parliamentary engagement to report. The news sentiment across 26 articles over 90 days is near-neutral overall, with the mp-performance category the only area registering a negative average, driven by the Grady coverage.

SNP regained this seat from LD — last held it in 2015.
