Cameron infuriated her former SNP colleagues after she walked out of the party to join the Conservatives last week.
The East Kilbride MP defected from the SNP to the Tories last week after facing deselection by her local party.
“I feel like Scotland’s exhausted by nationalism and all of our services are exhausted now. It’s become very divisive. The new Tory MP made her first appearance in the Commons as she crossed the floor ahead of Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday. She was flanked by former prime minister Theresa May and Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross.Cameron said that her religion – she is a member of the Free Church of Scotland – had been “frowned upon” by some in the SNP.“You were made to feel like you’re a Christian but just don’t raise it very much, certainly don’t vote in line with your beliefs.
“There have been ongoing issues about not being able to be who I am, not being a big, broad tent of all different people from different political backgrounds.” She added that members of Cameron’s local branch had told that Cameron had a “bullying attitude” and they were “glad to see the back of her”. Following the news she was defecting from the party, Cameron and her family were forced to leave her home and she says they have still not been able to return due to threats.
