How to respond to Reform UK? (bellacaledonia.org.uk)

It’s instructive to hear from The National that Farage will front the party’s election campaign in 2026. Of course he will.

This tells us two things: the first is one we knew already, that at the heart of the far-right populists is enormous ego; the second is that the idea that Reform UK might have a Scottish dimension or autonomy is ridiculous. Reform is Farage’s personal plaything, which he owns and controls wholly. It’s not even a political party in any real sense. But we knew that. The announcement is bound to be considered a political gift for the forces for independence, and a dark harbinger for the Scottish Conservatives, who are already seeing their vote being hacked into by Reform.
