Refusing to work with Reform UK isn't just the prerogative of other parties, particularly the SNP in minority govt, but it's exactly what their voters want. 52% of voters do not want Reform to have any influence over the Scottish Govt, including 65% of SNP voters.

This is the thing I find astonishing about Reform voters. Eve if you are so obsessed about fureners coming into your country that your blinded by your petty hatred, how can you support a party that want a US style Healthcare system?

The petty tribal provincialism of UK Labour & its branch office unionism. First Minister @JohnSwinney has just schmoozed Trump into removing his tariffs on whisky. Douglas Alexander bitched about him intervening & is having a tantrum now he’s succeeded.

Good for Sadiq Khan. The prospect of Palantir getting it's hands on law and order in the UK is terrifying - the word ICE should immediately go through everyone's mind. Yet again - thank the Lord for the SNP government - they're probably all that is keeping Scotland free of this extremism.

This is Nigel Farage's plan for the UK. If you vote Reform you will become bankrupt very quickly by medical bills should you fall ill. If you do vote Reform you get what you deserve and it ain't good.

Scotland has the lowest child poverty rate in the UK, and 90,000 fewer children live in poverty thanks to our policies. But decisions at Westminster have too often held us back. I want to fully eradicate child poverty, and Scotland should have the full powers to do it.

“Rarely has a British political party unveiled a programme that combines cruelty with impracticality on such an extravagant scale.” Chilling on Reform’s increasingly confident fascism. High on viciousness and greed. Very low on wisdom. A ruinous combination. www.independent.co.uk/voices/zia-y...
Photo of Yusuf at a lectern saying “shadow Home Secretary” (Wot?)

Reform's plan for a 'British ICE' combines cruelty with stupidityProject forward to 2036 under a majority Reform government and the picture darkens further. Britain would be smaller, older and whiter; more isolated from Europe; paradoxically, more vulnerable to foreign interterence and less able to fund its own defence.
The welfare state would shrink to a skeleton. Charity would fill the gaps.
Flags would proliferate; rights would not. The police and courts would be politicised. The BBC could disappear.
The NHS would survive only as a minimal safety net. Protections against discrimination would erode - you might indeed be sacked for being disabled.
Migrants and even their British-born children could find their rights curtailed unless they were deemed to
"contribute" sufficiently. Meanwhile, the wealthiest would enjoy a generous, low-tax regime.
