My take on a complete farce from Nigel Farage and Reform today. Just what Labour wanted. ✍️"For a man who comes across as oozing self-confidence and claiming to speak for real people, Nigel Farage’s whistle-stop tour of Scotland has shown he has incredibly thin skin." www.scotsman.com/news/politic...
