Angela Haggerty is a former journalist, who briefly held a new editor position at the Sunday Herald and online for the activist website CommonSpace.
Haggerty grew up on the Isle of Bute and joined a small community radio station there, volunteering to host a weekly topical news show.
In January 2016, her fellow columnist Graham Spiers was sacked from the newspaper when he wrote a column about sectarian singing in Scottish football which attracted controversy because of a comment about a director of Rangers F.C.
Haggerty was deemed to have undermined that apology in comments she made on Twitter, and was subsequently sacked.
[7] In 2014 she became editor of CommonSpace, the website of pro-independence bloggers Common Weal.
