Ex-MP Natalie McGarry's trial adjourned due to illness

The trial of former SNP MP Natalie McGarry has been adjourned after she was unable to attend court due to ill health.

McGarry, 40, who represented Glasgow East, allegedly stole more than £25,000 from two Scottish independence organisations between April 2013 and August 2015.

She was not in the dock for the fifth day of the trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court which is set to last six weeks.

Sheriff Tom Hughes told the jury: "Unfortunately, ladies and gentlemen, it's the case that unfortunately Miss McGarry is unwell today and is not able to attend.

"For that reason, we will not be able to continue as far as today is concerned.

"I'm hopeful we will be able to resume tomorrow.

"For that reason I will adjourn the trial until tomorrow."

The trial continues.
