It's April 1st. This is Europe News Today, powered by AI bringing you what matters across the continent. The Asin P just removed Tracy Caragher as leader of their North Lanarkshire Council Group and kicked her off their candidate list for Central Scotland, and Lofian's West. This all stems from her handling of serious allegations against former Council Leader Jordan Linden who got convicted last week on 10 Offenses, including five sexual assaults. Here this week on Wednesday, the party suspended her membership, too, pending a full investigation into how the Council SNF Group managed those claims. Pressure had been building from folks demanding she stepped down, especially after audio recordings dropped from a group meeting right around when the allegations first surfaced, putting her response under the spotlight. In their official statement, a SNF leader is made clear they take this seriously, stressing that complainant's voices must be heard, and she's out of. Both roles for the upcoming elections. Now with the probe underway, eyes are on what comes next for the party in North Lanarkshire
as they try to move past this mess.
