Natalie McGarry (born 7 September 1981)[1] is a Scottish former politician who served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Glasgow East from 2015 to 2017. She was elected as a Scottish National Party (SNP) candidate in the 2015 general election but resigned the SNP whip after six months and sat as an independent until the end of the parliamentary session in May 2017.
Prior to her election, McGarry was a SNP activist and convener of the party's Glasgow Regional Association.[2][3] She was a co-founder of the Women for Independence group.[4] In November 2015, following allegations of financial misconduct, McGarry withdrew from the SNP party whip while the matter was investigated. In 2016, she was charged with a number of fraud offences relating to apparent discrepancies in the finances of the SNP Glasgow Regional Association and Women for Independence. She pleaded guilty in 2019 to two charges of embezzlement, and was subsequently sentenced to eighteen months. Her convictions were quashed later that year pending a retrial in April 2022, at which she was convicted and sentenced to imprisonment.
