Dispatch
1 Jun 2026

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.

East Dunbartonshire has seen local political activity in recent weeks -- Alex Cole-Hamilton, the Scottish Liberal Democrat leader and an MSP for the area, has been campaigning on childcare costs and calling for parliament to be recalled over the ferries crisis -- but Callaghan does not appear in any of that coverage. Whether her absence from local debate reflects parliamentary duties, the data's limitations, or a broader pattern of low visibility is unclear from available information. Constituents seeking a fuller picture of her activity may wish to consult her own communications directly.
