Why Scots are warming to Farage
As support for Nigel Farage’s party strengthens in Scotland, Martin Geissler and Natalie Higgins ask what’s driving it.
Nigel Farage’s Reform UK won more votes than the Scottish Greens and Alba Party combined in the 2024 general election.
With opinion polls suggesting his party is on course to have several MSPs elected to the Scottish Parliament, we ask Reform councillor Thomas Kerr why voters here are warming to a politician who once sought refuge from protesters in an Edinburgh pub.
