It’s Farage’s big test in Scotland. For years it was a political dead-end for Reform party leader - heckled in Edinburgh, chased from restaurants in Aberdeen, and repeatedly rejected at the ballot box.
But in today’s Holyrood by-election in Hamilton, Larkhall & Stonehouse, Reform UK is mounting a serious challenge. With Farage back in charge and his candidate Ross Lambie gaining ground in an SNP stronghold, could this be the moment his party makes a breakthrough north of the border?
And while the Tories remain locked in internal warfare, we speak to Reform’s most senior council leader, Linden Kemkaran, on how the party plans to cut spending with their own version of Elon Musk’s DOGE and why she wants to end taxpayer-funded English lessons for migrants.
