The deputy’s press service said that it was a personal correspondence between two people who are still in touch.
cameron Thomas, 42, is a former Royal Air Force officer who served in Iraq, the UAE and the Falkland Islands. After his military service, he entered politics and was elected to Parliament in 2024.
This is not the first harassment scandal involving British politicians. In December 2024, the former leader of the Edinburgh City Council, Cammy Day, was accused of a similar case.
