Conservative politician David Mundell has been urged to hand back a £10,000 donation from a Borders egg producer under investigation by the RSPCA for alleged animal welfare abuses.
Mundell, who is running to retake his former Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale seat, was handed £9,995 by Glenrath Farms in 2020, which operates in the constituency.
But in May, video footage captured by welfare charity Animal Justice Project, showed dead hens littering the “filthy” shed floor at one of Glenrath’s chicken sheds.
