SCOTLAND’S only Lib Dem MP yesterday survived an attempt to annul his election in court after he leaked a secret government memo.

Four of Alistair Carmichael’s constituents launched a bid to oust him from his Orkney and Shetland seat, which they funded through a public appeal.

They claimed he misled voters by leaking a confidential memo which wrongly claimed that Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon wanted David Cameron to remain in Downing Street at the general election.
