Here’s the latest I can provide based on recent reporting:
- Jordan Linden, the former SNP council leader, has been jailed for 18 months after being convicted on multiple sexual offences against young men and boys, with offences spanning roughly 2011–2021. He was also placed on the sex offender register. This sentencing marks the culmination of a lengthy legal process, including his resignation from North Lanarkshire Council and the SNP in the years prior. [Sources include BBC coverage of the conviction and sentencing, plus corroborating reports from STV and other outlets.][1][3][4]
If you’d like, I can compile a concise timeline of the key events (allegations, trial, conviction, sentencing) with exact dates and link each item to its source.
