Janet Rennie is a woman - one assumes - who lives in Edinburgh.
Last week, she was convicted of embezzling £4600 from the Edinburgh Eastern branch of the Labour Party's Scottish region. This is particularly embarrassing as it is the branch of the current holder of the poisoned chalice which is the 'leadership' of that region, Kezia Dugdale.
